Online Workshop Sale – Happy Holidays!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, so I’m running a Workshop Sale ALL weekend. From December 18th through 21st at 11:59pm EST you can save 20% off my online workshops. This sale excludes Creative JumpStart 2021 but wait, that is still on sale for $69 through the end of the month so you don’t have to miss out on that either.

How can you take advantage of the Workshop Sale? Just use the code WORKSHOP2020 when you check out and save 20% off online workshops. Take a look at the variety of workshops I offer here on my website.

There are many to choose from like…

Artful Adventures with Gustav Klimt will help you achieve Klimt-style glamour and beauty in your art journal and beyond. Learn the art of creating patterns and metallic elements, and discover ways to pull everything together in a successful artwork. Check out the workshop HERE.

Time Traveler that I co-teach with Birgit Koopsen and Marsha Valk will show you how to draw inspiration from different style eras in history. Learn how to translate the design motifs into your own artwork with a focus on Gelli printing and mini book making. Sign up HERE.

Artful Adventures with Andy Warhol will introduce you to the artistic tricks of Pop Artist Warhol. Visual repetition, finding beauty in the everyday, and working with pops of color are all covered in this adventure. Find the workshop HERE.

The Best of CJS workshops offer small 10-12 lesson snippits of Creative JumpStarts from the past. We were able to bring some of our favorite videos back from the archives for these little bundles. They are download only workshops but a great taste of previous CJS’s that you may have missed. You can find those HERE.

Trace, Transfer, Transform explores several different methods of bringing visual material into your artwork. Work with photos, print outs, and other sources to transform your art journal and artwork into something with strong focal elements and intriguing backgrounds. Learn more HERE.

    Art Journaling protects my health and well being. I can collage all the bits and pieces that identify all my wishes and hopes or accomplishments in my world. Sometimes it clicks other times I don’t feel it hits my mark but I keep on trying to sooth my need to express and create what makes me at peace and complete. I have a relationship with all the other creatives I’ve met along my journey. I know that some day I will do a spread that will be the calling card to all my dreams come true…and that is a satisfying notion indeed. Thanks Nat…MBS…Mary Nassar…Pam Carriker…Seth…June…Robin and Jackie Jimerson (get well soon)…Love You Guys So Much!!!

    What I love about art journaling is that it doesn’t need to be presentable.
    When I scrapbook I want the LO to look really good.
    When I art journal it’s for me…the process and playing in my book.
    Thanks for the chance to win a spot Nat!
