Artvergnugen: Spray Ink Splash at The Ink Pad Photos

NatkalbachWSInkPad_Artvergnugen

 

This friday I had the pleasure of teaching another Artvergnugen Workshop at The Ink Pad in New York City. Artvergnugen is an ongoing Evening Art Journaling Class – once a month I teach with a different medium or tool and it is loads of fun. This Friday it was all about:

NatKalbach_AVMarch02

 

The Dylusions and Lindy’s Stamp Gang were both equally loved- since they are different but both are very vibrant and beautiful it was fun to explore the different techniques and applications you can use them for in an art journal. I do love them both a lot – for different reasons  :)

NatKalbach_AVMarch03

 

I must say I love the ongoing concept of the Artvergnugen Class at The Ink Pad – it is a good challenge for me, because I constantly have to adjust to a new medium, it is very technique based and I do have people that have been in the last class but some are new and cannot just pick up at pages from the last Artvergnugen class.

NatKalbach_AVMarch04

 

Nice ghosting here, Diane …

NatKalbach_AVMarch05

 

and yummie abstract backgrounds that are a perfect base for an art journal page – love it!

NatKalbach_AVMarch06

 

I love those girls- they all love to experiment…and get their hands messy ;)

NatKalbach_AVMarch07

 

Plus I come out every time inspired by a color combination I have to use in my next project :) Green, Yellow and Pink..oh yes!

NatKalbach_AVMarch08

 

Lot’s of stencils used

NatKalbach_AVMarch09

 

and smiling faces :) – I cannot wait to see how Karen will finish up this page …

NatKalbach_AVMarch10

 

Awesome page by Cheiron picking up a page from last week and continuing with the new techniques- love it!

NatKalbach_AVMarch01

 

The next Artvergnugen class will be about: Stencil Madness on April 25. There is a waiting list for this date. The May and June dates and themes will come out soon – Artvergnugen…it is what makes your journal a piece of art :)

If you could attend an Artvergnugen class by me…which medium or tool would you like to play with? We had Stamps, Mono printing and Spray Paints so far :)

Have a gorgeous day

    I see the stones divided stencil which I just bought yesterday.
    I would want to play with Silks and Pan Pastels. I tried one color of Silks at a crop yesterday and can’t wait to play some more with them.

Photos of Taste of Collage Workshop

NatKalbach_ATOC01

 Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and I taught our Taste of Collage workshop yesterday at The Ink Pad in New York City.

NatKalbach_ATOC02

 

We had an amazing group of 25 students – some coming from pretty far away and some are from the New York and New Jersey area :) In a way it reminded me a bit of our 2011 Mixed Media Circus Julie and I had organized in Germany …the room, the fun, the creativity…just not the temperature ;)

NatKalbach_ATOC03

 

We taught our collage class alternating throughout the day with the same supplies but with our own approaches in techniques and theories to collage. We have taught with this concept before and I do enjoy it every time. It goes pretty much with our philosophy that there is no right or wrong…there is just different. Just as everyone and everyone’s taste in a class is different…embrace it – as I always say.

NatKalbach_ATOC04

 

The other advantage of teaching with two teachers is that you can be VERY hands on with students during the class – even if the class is bigger. I love this. The personal interaction and being inspired by my students is my favorite part of a class and I had several moments where I was itching to get to my studio and play during the class (I was fair though and stayed- LOL)

NatKalbach_ATOC05

 

Teaching with someone else means a lot of trust and respect for the other person…I am very picky about my workshops – I put a lot of thought into them and I want to make people happy and have them have just a good creative, valuable time – so it needs to be someone I know is equally minded AND well it helps of course if you have a close friend being on the same page as you :) I just love Julie – with all her teasing- LOL – and I couldn’t think of any better co-teacher – Julie, you inspire me constantly and I think we make a good team ;)

NatKalbach_ATOC06

 

I think you can tell we had a great time – and we do hope our students had too. The collage results were amazing! Splish, Splash, Paint, Rip, Cut, Cover, “Killing Babies” and “Getting” over the Pretty…no problem for those girls! And what you cannot see in the pictures because we are good in hiding this all ;) – the heater did not work and we were sometimes shuttering our teeth and working with coats and hats on and using the heating guns as heating stations . Another thing that I admired about our students – they knew that there was nothing we all could have done about it and they just lived through it with a real NY/NJ attitude and created the heck out of their supplies :) You rock!

NatKalbach_ATOC07

 

Thank you also to The Ink Pad for organizing and having us- you are wonderful and I am looking forward being back this Friday for more Artvergnugen :) and on June 8, 2014 for a day long class called “Acrylic Media -Demystified” . It is a class I always wanted to teach in person…here is a sneak – all details will be up the next days on The Ink Pad website  and you can sign up already by calling the store.

Artvergnugen at The Ink Pad in NYC – March & April

NatKalbach_ArtvergnugenAd

 

The new dates for Artvergnugen at The Ink Pad in New York City are up for March and April :

  • Session Three: Spray Ink Splash! – March 7th
  • Session Four: Stencil Madness! – April 25th

It starts the moment you sit down, an experience that is distinctly Art Journaling. A quick exhilaration, a sense of control, the art media’s surprising responsiveness as if they were simply an extension of you.

There is a word for this creative experience: Artvergnugen ! Artvergnugen is what makes your journal a piece of art.

Join Nathalie once a month and play each time with a different art medium or supply. Learn techniques, tips and tricks to take your art journaling further and turn it into Artvergnugen.

You will have to bring basic supplies – list on The Ink Pad Website – while Nathalie will bring the art medium/supply of the month for you to share. Sign up for as many of the sessions you want but be quick – space is limited.

Have an amazing day

Photos of Artvergnugen at the InkPad

Last Friday was the first of my ongoing once a month evening class at The InkPad in New York City.

NatKalbachTIP01

 

Every month I teach about a special medium or supply and I bring it for an ongoing Artjournal Class. This time the theme was Stamping :) So I brought my new Stampendous Stamps and showed some techniques how you can incorporate them in your artjournal. so much fun to see them in the store and to see how people liked them :) – here you see Ana having a hard time deciding…

NatKalbachTIP02

 

I love the intimacy of the class- since the evening classes take in  the tiny but wonderful store (the weekend class are taking place in an out-of-store location) – there is only room for 8 students. It is a wonderful way finding out what expectations of a class exist and I loved being able to talk to each one and having them show their results and talk about it.

NatKalbachTIP03

 

Here is Cheiron showing her two page spread playing with different techniques – love the color combination

NatKalbachTIP04

NatKalbachTIP05

 

Diane playing with backgrounds and the stamps- especially love her silhouette outcome.

NatKalbachTIP06

 

Sandra playing with the latest Whatever Photo- love the sentiment!

NatKalbachTIP07

 

Robin showing her wonderful background- great base for an art journal page!

NatKalbachTIP08

NatKalbachTIP09

Ana with some beautiful color combinations and I love how she framed the second spread with the stamps – it looks so organic.

NatKalbachTIP10

 

Karen’s wonderful spread- I love how all fits perfectly together!

NatKalbachTIP11

 

Love Cheryl’s spread which totally reminds me of a Monet painting

The next session on February 20th, 2014 is about Mono printing and already full – sorry- there is a waiting list at The InkPad. If you are interested in the upcoming sessions in March and April sign up for their Newsletters so you don’t miss out to sign up.

On another note :

Scavenger Hunt Button

today is the start of fellow Stencil Girl Products Artist Jessica Sporn’s awesome Stencil Scavenger Hunt. Check it out- she posts every day this week a new design and let’s you guess which stencils by Stencil Girl Products she used.. you can win something too- so check it out ;)

 

Wishing you a wonderful start into the week!

Do More of What Makes You Happy or….The InkPad Workshop

NatKalbach_InkPad01
I taught a class called Über*Media Backgrounds at The Ink Pad in New York City. It was a bit different in format as I did this class in two parts- the first part was at the end of October and the second yesterday.

NatKalbach_InkPad11

 

The first part was dedicated to creating with all kinds of background techniques and making your own paper for an later art journal. It was loads of fun.

NatKalbach_InkPad09

 

We used lot’s of different media

NatKalbach_InkPad14

 

NatKalbach_InkPad03

 

and played a lot with my StencilGirl Product stencils

NatKalbach_InkPad12

NatKalbach_InkPad08

 

NatKalbach_InkPad06

 

the second part was about layering and taking the backgrounds even further and of course finally using them – in this case for an art journal

I had a blast and loved the colorful creations of the girls. I also like the concept of an ongoing class – it gives you so many possibilities and is a great way for everyone to deepen the learned stuff and then take it further. And on top- I met “my girls” again . This might be something I will be doing again ;) – who knows ;)

What kind of classes do you prefer: One time and in person, on-going and in-person, online and just a short block or an ongoing online class?

Have a gorgeous day

    WOW! What fun Nat! It would be So Cool to be able to create with you- therefore I’d like an ongoing face to face! When can we schedule it for?!! LOL Wish we had somewhere around us that you could come teach at- no privately owned stamp/scrapbook stores within 75 miles from me :(
    Seriously, I would prefer face to face with instructor, on-going for sure or ongoing online. Thanks for sharing with us! hugs xo

    I like both online and in person. I’ve only had in person once! It was a few weeks ago in Charlotte when Julie taught there. I loved doing it live with the teacher’s inspiration right there. But there is something to be said for taking your time in your own studio, pausing when you need to and rewatching when necessary. I’d love an ongoing class.

On the PATH…or NYC visits

DISCLAIMER: This Blog Post contains two picture that use words that are curse words , if you have a problem with this, you might be better off looking at something else  . Don’t email me to complain, don’t visit my blog anymore because I might post things like this again and for sure do not let your kids look at this !
NatKalbach_NYC01

One of the things that I really love about living in Jersey City, is that it takes me about 15-20 minutes to go to New York. I am faster in Manhattan than many people that live in NYC ;) I call Jersey City actually lovingly “Manhattan for Beginners” – I can sleep here without my heart rate going up with all the lights and noise but I am also feeling like close enough to THE city   ;) Strolling through NYC is fun as you can spy so many fun people, signs, graffitis and paste ups here and there

NatKalbach_NYC02

 

I loved this on the pavement

NatKalbach_NYC03

and this one made me laugh a lot (because everyone including me runs around with the right arm holding the cell phone and looking at it constantly)

NatKalbach_NYC08

 

And they do love to tell you no-nonsense of what you get if you park at the wrong spot

NatKalbach_NYC10

 

or what you can find in a store

NatKalbach_NYC11

 

And seriously…where do you find an old lady with an old lady puppet feeding a squirrel? Edited: I received a comment by Ricky Syers: “Thank you for posting the pic of Doris Diether feeding the squirrel! Im Ricky Syers the creator of these marionettes and the original marionette squirrel feeder!!” Please check out his website

NatKalbach_NYC07

 

I can also now see my sweet friend Julie more often(I am so happy about being closer to her…don’t tell her ;) )…she might come soon to NJ too…she is still preparing and getting her shots and a passport …New Yorkers seem to have a hard time to leave the city, even if the drive is just 15 mins ;)

NatKalbach_NYC06

 

I guess I should have called this post a Stroll through the neighbor neighbor hood ;) Anyway- I hope this made you smile a bit – have a gorgeous day !

Huge hugs

You two will be/are a good support to each other personally and as artists (making it in this big world). Love the signs. I need one of the phone signs to hang out of my car window. So many people talking and not driving safely around here.

Inspiration Overload or…a Day in NYC

julie and Nat

Last Wednesday I took the PATH from Jersey City where I had also a fun day on Tuesday to New York City and visited my friend Julie Fei Fan Balzer. I love spending time with her. Not only is she an amazing artist, always happy to share and help with her never-ending knowledge and input, but also as a real friend. It is just the best to hang out with her.

Every time I visit her I get struck by the beauty of her art – in real life even more awesome. These two pieces were my favorite :)

After some chatting we went to MoMA. Not before takings some elevator photos- as those are Julie’s daily routine. As you can see…this needs practice – LOL

I love MoMA and every time you go there is something new to discover. This time Julie gave me her 1 Dollar tour…which she never got- although the tour was worth more…oh well…lol- ssssshhh ;)

    I CANNOT BELIEVE we were at Rockerfeller Center at the same time on the same day!!!! The crowds were crazy so it would have been a miracle to have bumped into you. I was with my 3 year old daughter and we spent most of the time sitting on the floor in the Lego store. I don’t think I would have stopped you though- it would have been strange. But fingers crossed we’ll bump into each other on your next visit- we frequent the same places! I LOVE Anthropologie!!! There are 3 other stores in Manhattan and each does it’s own display so I often go on a “tour” just to see what the current display trends are. Last time I went they had gold dipped rubber tree leaves hanging from the ceiling- it was an amazing sight!

    Actually it’s not a store at all. Free even. Clouds. Especially cirrus clouds which are those long whisky ones made out of tiny ice crystals high up. But there are so many types of clouds. Of course clouds make the best sunsets. Ever seen a sun dog? They are the small lone clouds that float all by themselves at sunset. When ever I feel awe and wonder I feel inspired. Having it be free is priceless.

    I Love, love, love NYC in December…! Did you also see the Christmas tree at the MET? It usually is amazing! If not, well, at least you went to the MOMA, another of my favorite places in that city! And also the Folk Museum, the Bronx Botanical Gardens…. Oh, and one of my inspirational stores is MOMA Design Store (as is any other museum store… Also, a couple stores in SoHo: Leekan Designs and The Enchanted Forest… not sure if they still exist… Oh! and Pearl Paint of course!!!

    I just toured those same stores while visiting with my 12yo son in Sept! We went to Anthropologie (for me, could only afford some clearance sunglasses, but they’re purple and wonderful) and to the lego store for him. Both were sooo inspiring and I took many pictures of the displays. Also, the candy store in Rockefeller Center that has been there for decades. They make amazing paper animals in which to wrap an individual chocolate. That’s soo inspiring to me. I loved seeing your day with Julie. Thanks for sharing.

    Yeah, another post with my two favorite creative ladies (together)!
    I love the Lego tree and the rabbit from Alice and Wonderland (the one with the spy glass).
    I find inspiration while at Barnes & Noble since that is where I purchase Somerset Memories. Also at a local gift shop which has local art and awesome jewelry. It is called the Andovers Gift Shop.
    Fun post Nat.
