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_InkPad03

 

and played a lot with my StencilGirl Product stencils

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.

    I prefer online classes as i can enter the classroom whenever i want to check and/or refresh forgotten details. There are so many techs, that is impossible to remember all!…Thanks for your time, Nat!

    I really like in person and have never had ongoing but might like it.
    That being said, online means that I can go back and look over tuts again.

    The classes sound great Nat. Love the concept of ongoing classes. It gives people the chance to explore what they do in the first class before moving on to the next step. I’d love to have that stamp shop near me, LOVE all of those wood mounted stamps in the background.

Baltic Sea / Ostsee Scrap Event – Photos

What a beautiful weekend teaching at the Ostsee Scrap Event (Baltic Sea Event). The location was awesome – just a 15 minute walk from the beach, wonderful room with our own private terrace, wonderful students, great organiser and co-teacher and filling yummie food. What more can you ask for?

Here are some pictures of my morning stroll to the beach – it was awesome -almost no one at the beach – sun shining already – calm and relaxing. I walked for two hours and it totally relaxed me – good way to start then off the workshops :)

We had lot’s of fun all together during a photo shooting session that Andrea had during her workshop – with some nice accessories- LOL

After that we had to eat the biggest, yummiest home-made oven fresh cream puffs with a cherry sauce filling I have ever seen in my entire life…went right on the hips ;)

It might have been the sugar high that made me pulls some pretty hilarious faces while teaching…I have no other excuse actually ;)

We used lot’s of yummie Liquitex Products and thank you Liquitex for sending me some of the Liquitex Professional Spray Paints and Professional Markers – they found some happy winners :)

    It looks like you had a great time :) I love those beach chairs! I saw them last year for the first time when I visited Warnemunde. Are they a common sight on Baltic beaches?

      Lorraine, ohhh I love them too :) Yes those beach chairs are very common at the Baltic Sea and also the North Sea here in Germany. I looked into this after your comment and it looks as if actually those beach chairs – which we call beach baskets literally translated, were first made in Warnemünde Germany :) So I assume we can call it a typical German thing- which I wasn’t aware of. Fun :) Thanks for your question- it made me learn something new too :) huge hugs

Stockholm Scrap & Pearl Event- Photos

NathalieKalbach_SPE02

I had such a wonderful time in Sweden, Stockholm last weekend at the Scrap & Pearl Event. Sofia and Peter organized this amazing event where about 1000 people came to crop, craft and have a good time. 21 stores were also making sure the shopping fun got included. Here is a photo of the place before the event – add some table lines to the left and you might get a little feel of how big it was ;).

NathalieKalbach_SPE01

 

It was massive and I have the biggest respect for Sofia and Peter putting this event together. They did an AWESOME job organizing it! I have never seen such a huge amount of goodie bags and since I am used to packing kits which takes FOREVER – I can only imagine how much time went just into packing these – well actually I know how long it took the two of them plus their kids to pack them…you don’t even wanna know!

NathalieKalbach_SPE03

I taught 3 classes that were all sold out – and I had so much fun with my super talented and fun Swedish students. We laughed a lot. Here are some pictures of my Be Awesome, Be a Book Nut Class which I taught two times.

NathalieKalbach_SPE04

 

And here are a few ladies I caught to take a picture off after my Portrait of a Lady class, I still have to get better at taking photos at workshops ;)

NathalieKalbach_SPE05

 

Another highlight was as always meeting many wonderful new and also some people I know. Here is one of my most loyal online students Anne Kristin. It was so wonderful to finally meet her in person!

NathalieKalbach_SPE06

 

And Sara, who shared her beautiful book with me where she played along with our The Whatevers! So much fun to see this !

NathalieKalbach_SPE07

 

Kattiz from K-Designs who creates wonderful paper- lovveeee it- and I will actually teach a layout class with some of her paper soon at the Ostsee Scrap Event. Wonderful personality too! I will share some work with her papers soon :)

NathalieKalbach_SPE08

 

Anna Björklund who was one of my super talented Jumpstarters in this year’s Creative JumpStart. She is wonderful and I am so happy I had the chance to spent some time with her at breakfast!

NathalieKalbach_SPE09

 

And Sofia of course who rocked organizing the event and who makes me laugh a lot :)

NathalieKalbach_SPE10

 

Many many other amazing people I loved to meet- including my sweet Danish Friends and Mia and Per- too bad we didn’t take a photo! It was wonderful to see you again!

And here is a picture of the yummiest sweetest gift I have EVER received by a student. This cake is to die for and my husband agrees…I have to hide it from him – LOL – Thank you so much Ulrika- you are AWESoME and I still think you should open a cafe with homemade cake…maybe with a little craft area? !

Also thank you Gerd for the wonderful book you gave me and Tammy for the yummy Chocolate! I am sooo spoiled – I have the best students EVER!

NathalieKalbach_SPE12

 

And I know by now you might be tired of my pictures…but I cannot leave you without showing you this picture of my loved ones while talking to them online from Stockholm….the look at our cat makes me laugh soooo much. Poor guy- he could just not comprehend where the voice was coming from -LOL

Workshops at J.P. Morgan in Luxembourg

Last weekend I had the pleasure to teach 3 workshops at J.P. Morgan in Luxembourg. I was invited by the Social Committee and it was so much fun. It was an amazing crowd of people- very international and with lot’s of languages involved. I was sticking to my two- English and German…my attempt to learn Luxembourgish was poor ;)

Luxembourg01_NatKalbach

We had a really great room…the canteen- which was PERFECT for a workshop – lot’s of light, lot’s of tables, lot’s space, lot’s of yummie snacks ;)

Luxembourg02_NatKalbach

The first class was my Yawp PanPastel Class on Saturday afternoon and we dabbled into a lot of techniques and the students loved playing with the different yummie colors and techniques.

Luxembourg03_NatKalbach

Luxembourg04_NatKalbach

Luxembourg05_NatKalbach

Luxembourg06_NatKalbach

Luxembourg07_NatKalbach

Heating guns were used in wild west style to get the techniques rolling ;)

Luxembourg08_NatKalbach

Sunday morning I taught the Über*Media Acrylic Paint Class first. We covered lots of techniques and made a big pile of background pages for art journals. Not many pictures here- obviously I forgot to take pictures

Luxembourg09_NatKalbach

Luxembourg10_NatKalbach

Next up was the Season /Texture Canvas Class. It was awesome. Most of the students never worked with Acrylic Paints..some even stated to never have held a paint brush in their hand (hard to believe- I know) and they had so much creative fun!

 

Everyone was very open to try out things, but the best was…they had no finished picture in their head when they started, which made them more open to try new things – I loved that.

So we had a little Monet inspiration going on here

Luxembourg12_NatKalbach

and some Pearl Jam inspired texture galore here

Luxembourg13_NatKalbach

and some rainbow light fun here

Luxembourg14_NatKalbach

and awesome texture flower bouquet inspiration here

Luxembourg15_NatKalbach

some real awesome flower application/transformation here

Luxembourg17_NatKalbach

beautiful text textured flowers here

Luxembourg18_NatKalbach

and a whimsical flower spin here

Luxembourg19_NatKalbach

Here is a group shot with the happy ladies- some had to leave earlier- so there is a lot missing on the photo

Luxembourg20_NatKalbach

Thank you so much everyone who took the classes- it was a wonderful weekend with you and you inspired me a lot too :)

Thank you also to the J.P. Morgan Social Committee for inviting me and to Lydia for inviting me to her home and taking more than good care of me ! You are fab!

I will show you some of my sightseeing pictures in Luxembourg next…what a beautiful little country!

BTW – if you are interested in having me come and teach at your event, store or for a certain private or company group – please feel free to contact me !

You can also check out my In -Person Workshops here and see if I am close soon to where you live or check out my Online Workshops here to take classes whenever you want.

Have a gorgeous day

Mixed Media Circus – The Grand Finale: Book of Techniques Workshop

You’ve asked and now we’re answering!  Watch for descriptions of all the classes we’re teaching to roll out over the next few weeks.  And now, just like a nosy reader, we’re starting at the end.

Ihr habt gefragt und es soll Euch geantwortet werden! Beobachtet, wie all die Workshops, die wir unterrichten, in den nächsten Tagen vorgestellt werden. Und nun, ganz wie ein neugieriger Leser, beginnen wir einfach am Ende.

On Sunday afternoon, November 27th, 2011 – in Hamburg  Germany –  Julie and I will team teach a class called, “The Grand Finale: Book of Techniques.”

Am Sonntag Nachmittag (27. November 2011 in Hamburg) werden Julie und ich gemeinsam einen Workshop mit dem Namen “The Grand Finale: Book of Techniques” – also Das Große Finale: Buch der Techniken” unterrichten.

BookOfTechniques
Use this book as an art journal, scrapbook, or simply a beautiful reference for all of the cool techniques you’ll learn using gesso, gel medium, acrylic paint, and PanPastels (and a special thank you to PanPastel for coming on board as a sponsor of our Mixed Media Circus).  These are some of our favorite supplies and we’ll teach you our favorite techniques using them!  We’ll create texture, play with simple resist techniques, and experiment with paint!  Not only will we share tons of techniques with you, but we will go over all sorts of useful information about these products and give you some easy do’s and don’ts for when you head home!

Verwende dieses Buch als ein Art-Journal, Scrapbook, oder einfach nur als ein wunderschönes Referenzbuch zu all den tollen Techniken unter der Verwendung von Gesso, Gel Medium, Acrylfarben und PanPastels (und einen besonderen Dank an PanPastel für das An-Bord-Kommen als Sponsor unseres Mixed Media Events). Dies sind einige unserer Lieblingszutaten und wir werden euch unsere Lieblingstechniken mit diesen Medien zeigen! Wir werden Textur erzeugen, mit simplen Resist Techniken arbeiten und viel mit Farben experimentieren! Und wir werden Euch nicht nur eine Menge Techniken zeigen, sondern darüber hinaus Euch auch viele nützliche Informationen über die Medien geben und Euch weitere Tipps und Trick auch für das forgeschrittene Spielen zuhause mitgeben!

If you’d like to sign up (we’re just a little less than half full right now), you can find all of the information here.

Falls Ihr Euch anmelden wollt (Wir sind etwas weniger als zur Hälfte ausgebucht zur Zeit), könnt Ihr Informationen  hier erhalten.
