In-Person Workshops

Mixed Media Printmaking

Create mixed-media prints using various surfaces, media, and techniques in this full day workshop at Pratt Institute in NYC. Explore different reductive and additive techniques and produce unique prints where no second print will look alike. Work with acrylic paint, household items, stencils and stamps, watercolor paper, book paper, deli paper, and patterned paper. Create stand alone prints that can be artwork as is, and produce others to be used as collage elements, in art journals, in your mixed-media art and so much more.

Artvergnugen – Art Journaling

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 me for a one-day workshop and play with different art media and supplies. Talk about colors, composition, and then love-it or list-it to truly reveal your own style. Learn techniques, tips and tricks to take your art journaling further and turn it into Artvergnugen.

Saturday, October 22nd – 10am – 6pm

Art Rules – Art in Translation Art Journaling

Let’s explore several master artists and get inspired by their artwork and techniques to create wonderful and unique art journal pages. Whether it be the Impressionist’s amazing color combinations or some of the Surrealist’s fun collage techniques, there are many different Master Artists whose skills can serve as a starting point for your own artwork. Find out what you like and what works for you. Learn about opacity and layering, colors, troubleshooting, mixing materials, making your own tools, creating backgrounds and patterns. We will work with acrylic paints, inks, markers, wax bars and other paint media to create dimension and texture. We will make the most of stencils, stamps, mono printing plates and generic tools to make our own mark. Get ready to Rule Your Art Journal!
