So stoked that I will be rounding up my European Tour in June with an Artfusion Weekend teaching with my dear friend Birgit Koopsen at the De Craftorij Retreat 2015 in The Netherlands. The retreat will take place in a gorgeous hotel in Ede on June 13 -14, 2015. You can read all details about the event, workshops, hotel etc. in Dutch and English here.
Sign up is open now, you can book single days or a whole weekend . I hope I will see some of my European friends there!
Have a wonderful day
This is going to be so much fun! My friend Birgit Koopsen and I are teaching at a Creative Retreat in Turku, June 6-7, 2015 , which will be held on a Museums Cruise Ship. You can read all details here.
Here are the workshops that I will be teaching -the first workshop is one that I will co-teach with Birgit – we should have called it Double Trouble I guess ;) woot woot :)
Lauantai 6.6. – Saturday June 6
Lauantaina Nathalie ja Birgit vetävät yhdessä koko päivän kestävän kurssin:
On Saturday Nathalie and Birgit teach together in a one day long class:
Sunnuntai 7.6. – Sunday June 7
Artvergnugen – Art Journal Class with Nathalie Kalbach
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 for a half-day workshop and play with different art media and supplies. Learn techniques, tips and tricks to take your art journaling further and turn it into Artvergnugen.

International students are welcome- Birgit and I will hold these classes in English…I am not sure I will ever manage to learn finish :)
You can sign up here – if you are on the fence, decide soon, I was just told, the event is almost fully booked.
Thanks, we have amazing weekend.
Hi,
just can´t wait for your Double Trouble week-end. Is it a show with cancan dance and paints, a performance with gesso or a mystery story with two lost adhesive tubes?
Welcome!
See you both in Finland- Turku in Matka Luovuuteen
Best regards
Pirjo S.
I am looking forward teaching 3 Workshops at My Hearts Fancy in Oklahoma City, March 27 -29, 2015.

Super excited for these classes!!!! Ready to welcome you to Oklahoma :)

Hi Nat–I love your new color combo!

Hi Nat – I wish there was one in Columbus, or at least Ohio. would love to do a demo session with you.
Some day I might visit my friend Joe Rotella in OH and then maybe there will be a class ;)
I checked this out earlier over at Liquitex- bummer none are anywhere close to me- but I will keep watching in case -someday!! “)
Too bad Jackie! That woudl have been fun! But hey- someday I am sure :)
Yeahh – I am coming back again to Bizzy B’s in Toronto to teach three workshops from March 13 – 15, 2015.
Friday, March 13 – WALK WITH ME: ALTERED BOOK CLASS – 6:30 – 10:00 PM
In this class, Nathalie will show you how you can turn an old, sad book in to something beautiful again! You will work with acrylic paints, acrylic inks, stamps, and stencils, and Nat will walk you through some fun sketching tricks. In the end, you will have a colourful creative keepsake filled with techniques that you can use for all kinds of Mixed Media and Art Journal projects.
NOTE: this is a different class from the altered book class that Nat taught at Bizzy B’s before!
Saturday, March 14 -ACRYLICS DEMYSTIFIED: TECHNIQUE & ABSTRACT CANVAS WORKSHOP – 10:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Join Nathalie for a full-day class to explore all kinds of different Acrylic Media – from Dumbledore to Merlin, from Acrylic Paints to Acrylic Inks, from String Gel to Pouring Medium, from Modeling Paste to Stucco and other fun stuff! Learn their magic – and put an end to the mystery of how to use these amazing helpers in your Mixed Media and/or Art Journaling projects. Learn not only how to use Acrylic Media and when to use them, but also put your own spell into 3 abstract canvases during the class. You will for sure have as much fun waving your new magic acrylic wand in the future as Nathalie does!
Sunday, March 15 – RAW CANVAS STAINING WORKSHOP – 10:30 AM – 5:00 PM
The technique of painting on unprimed, raw canvas is most often associated with artists such as Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, and Helen Frankenthaler, just to name a few. Colour-field artists poured, dripped, or brushed thinned paints onto the canvas that soaked through the surface and stained the fabric, creating a velvet-like appearance. Join Nathalie in exploring fun techniques of staining and painting raw canvas and open a whole new creative world to apply these techniques to stretched canvases, pillow cases, bags, home decor items, and even clothes!
More information and sign up info here at Bizzy B’s – I hope to see you there!

Friday I taught a Mono printing Class – lot’s of fun and texture and I loved seeing my stencils and stamps being used so much :)

And everyone was hands on :)
In between I learned that this is the only snow you can get in Florida ….sounded good to me with the arctic weather back home and comfy 86F at Lake Worth :)
Saturday I taught my Artvergnugen art journal class. My nifty students had practiced how to say Artvergnugen and were even able to show me :) Made me laugh big time!
We had an awesome day playing with paint and creating layers upon layers in our art journals
Sunday I taught a Collage Class- and I loved loved loved all the different results- it was loads of fun !
Thank you to all my amazing students for coming, being so amazingly creative and making me laugh! Until next time :)

Looks like you all had so much fun! I can hear you laughing, right now, at their little English/German lesson. That’s hilarious!!
I’m so pleased to be a part of a wonderful online art journaling workshop called “21 Secrets” starting in April 2015
21 SECRETS teachers create workshops that beautifully reflect who they are as an artist right here and now. The mission behind 21 SECRETS is to showcase a variety of approaches, techniques, and ways of integrating art journaling and creativity into one’s life. With both an open heart and an open art journal, together we as teachers provide our members the space, permission, and inspiration to navigate those unexplored territories within their own hearts that are longing to be fully expressed.
The 21 Secrets Spring Art Journaling Workshop is downloadable.
What I teach? The Story Within a Story
For me art journaling is visual story telling. It might not be a story that everyone can read but I can read it and that is all that counts. All my stories consist of many viewpoints and layers – thoughts, emotions and the story itself. I love to express the complexity of a story by building up layers and dimension through various techniques and texture.
In this workshop I would like to walk with you through my art journaling process. I will show you various layering techniques and I will tell you why and how I am doing what I am doing.
Join me in telling a creative story within a story.
Some of the other teachers include: Eric Scott & Davd Modler – the Journal Fodder Junkies, Juliette Crane, Steve Salik, Jessica Leigh Brogan, Joyce van der Lely, You can read all about my class and the twenty other classes here
How much does it cost?
Right now the PRESALE is happening !
Note: The link that I am using to promote 21 SECRETS is an affiliate link and I will receive a small percentage of any student who registers through my link. If you want to register, and want to support me as an artist it would be wonderful if you would consider registering through my link .
