Stoked, excited and happy would be the right choice of words to tell how I feel to go back to Toronto in November. I so can’t wait to teach again at Bizzy B’s – if you read my post from earlier this year, you know how much I love the place and students

Dr. Seuss knew it: there is something magic about books. Each book is a beauty in and of itself – a story that leads you into a new world of fantasy. Books also have a feeling of importance to them, such as with a fabric coated hard cover or just the paper itself.
But sometimes a book loses its fascination and ends up at a flea market or at the back of your bookshelf, never be opened again. Why not breathe life back into those books again and fill them with your own stories? You can alter them in a way that these treasures bring unique joy back.
Nathalie Kalbach will show you how to create either a funky or a simple style altered book. You will learn beautiful folding techniques, such as ways to create pockets for treasures or hidden messages that go along with your story. You will learn how to use adhesive in unexpected ways and learn fun embossing techniques.
Accompanied by beautiful Prima paper, flowers and stamps, this book will be a personal keepsake or a special present to a loved one. What’s more, it can function not only as a mini album but also as a home decor item.
Come and join Nat in this three-and-a-half-hour long workshop. Be awesome and be a book nut!

In this Workshop with Nathalie Kalbach, you will create a stunning and unique canvas that will be a wonderful home décor item.
Learn how to create dimension and texture with tissue paper, items of daily life, acrylic paint, lace, burlap, and gesso.
Learn how to reveal the interesting and eye catching texture with acrylic paints and acrylic inks and add some fun stamping techniques on top.
We will be adding lots of layers and dimension to make this a spring, summer, fall or winter canvas… just as you like. All the techniques can easily be applied to future projects.

In this workshop you learn how to use Acrylic Paints in your Art Journal. This class shows all kinds of possibilities using Acrylic Paints with different media.
We will start with the basics then make our way up to more advanced techniques. Everything will be taught in an art journal.
I will share with you my favorites, whether it be how to build up interesting backgrounds, resist techniques or incorporating other paint media for stunning layers. I will share with you why I’m doing things, how I got the idea, and what works and what doesn’t seem to work.
Join the uber-fun in this class!

Nat’s classes are so awesome. If you ever have the opportunity to take a class from my favourite little German lady, do not hesitate!! Not only will you learn so much and have a blast but you will be blissfully covered in whatever medium you are working with in class. Believe me, nurses are not fond of being messy but I loved every second of the classes I took in Toronto!!!

I had a wonderful time at your “Portrait of a Lady” and “Be a Booknut” classes. What a treat to see my photo at the end of this blogpost!!! I’m still building up my background of my portrait and I am so happy with how it’s turning out. I’ve got a whole bunch of 5×7 canvas boards that I’m collaging up with all the “uber” textural techniques I learned. Look forward to you coming stateside to teach again :)

I have been following your stuff for quite some time, I found you through Julie Fei-Fan Balzers connections. I really enjoy seeing all the fun things you create. Are the faces Photos that are then altered, or are they from magazine? they look fun.
