New dates have been set for the classes that were canceled over the last two months. I have intentionally scheduled them every other week in case we have some snowy weather. If a class is canceled due to inclement weather, it will be moved to the following Monday. Please keep that in mind when you are putting a date on your calendar.
There are 6 new classes offered in addition to the Copics Classes. You may notice that I have also scheduled them every two weeks. That is because they are so far in the future. I like to keep some openings for classes that others might be interested in teaching. These new classes have not been fully defined yet and may even have a different instructor so just keep checking this list to see if anything changes.
I have not verified the new dates with all the people who originally enrolled, so please check the new dates and let me know if you would like to be enrolled or if you need to be removed from the original list.
Regarding the class seating, please sign up for full classes, too, since there are often cancellations.
The price for all classes is $12.00 unless otherwise noted.

Introduction to Copic Markers
|
Kathie Hatfield and I have finally set a date for the Copic Markers classes. This session is a repeat of the class she gave in 2008 showing beginning techniques with Copics if you need a refresher or an introduction. This class will require you to have your own markers. You will need the colors that co-ordinate with the cardstock because Kathie has a package prepared for the class. I will be sending out a notice to all class enrollees regarding this.

Advanced Use of Copic Markers
|
Kathie Hatfield will teach us how to improve our use of Copic Markers with advanced shading techniques. She will also teach us how to use the Air Brush System with the Copic Markers. This class will be a lot of fun! As in the Intro class, you will need to have your own markers that will go with the green and pink pre-made kits. An e-mail will define specifics.

Painted Image Clay Jewelry
|
Don't just think that the two items created from this class can be used for jewelry only. They could also embellish your cards or as a magnets. This class began with a copy of a brooch that Sally Proctor saw and loved. After discussing it with Lynda Bowman, we decided to make a class with the technique. You will be able to make two clay pieces using two different techniques. They really are beautiful! I wore one of the necklaces out to dinner one night and received compliments from two different men, and not one of them was Paul. Where else could you make some beautiful handmade jewelry for $15.00 and have a fun day in the meantime?

Posh Painting
|
Many of you may be familiar with Dee Gruenig and her Posh Paints. Well, this class will NOT resemble her look, so if that's what you are expecting, you may not want this class. But then again, it will be another way to use those products that have been in storage for a while. Information will be provided about other products that could be used to create the same looks. Even though the two class projects will be different, a quick demo will be given on the original techniques.

Hand Carved Stamps

Have you ever needed that simple little stamp that just isn't in your closet? Well, this class will teach you how to make some of those simple stamps. We'll be using Speedball's Carving Block and a trusty craft knife. There will be a couple of other products used as time allows. This class is an exact repeat of the class offered in 2008 as a special request.

Tileing with Mica
|
Again, this class has been requested. It has been several years since I taught a class using Mica Tiles so some of you thought it was time for a repeat. I guess those tiles have been sitting in their craft room unused. Let's put them to some use!
