I teach and facilitate art classes for women. These classes are fun and easy and cover many medias, including book binding, mixed media, collage, and watercolor!

Taught a day long workshop.

The morning session I taught each student how to create their own one of a kind hand-bound art journal.

The afternoon session I taught how to create a page within the art journal. During this session I gave instruction on how to use the gelli plate, how to collage, use watercolor, stencils and a variety of other medias.

Everyone left the class with a completed page in their journals and materials to make several more pages. I like to set them up for a successful practice.

I have held several local classes at places like Blue Moon Vintage Market (Westville) and Pieces of Jayde (Valparaiso). I’m always looking for venues where I can teach art! I know the owners of these shops and asked to host classes there.

I have taught classes called

“Creating Sacred Healing scrolls”

“Fun with Gelli printing and collage”

“Making a handmade art journal 101”

“Creating an Art Journal Page”

I was invited to co-host an Art Journaling Retreat with the RWC owner/founder Sandy Coomer. Sandy is a well published author and wanted to host a weekend where creative people could come and learn about art journaling.

I taught the group how to make their own hand bound art journals on day one.

Throughout the weekend I shared art tips and techniques on how to work within the journal, while Sandy taught the writing/journaling parts of the class.

At the end we had everyone combine what they learned and they each created some journal pages within their new journals.
