CLASSES FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 20

Hope you are all enjoying a great fall. Here is a list of our classes for this week.
Just to let you all know we are booking classes for next year (2009). We have added to our roster of wonderful teachers. Mike Strong will be coming once a month, most months. We are looking to add a teacher name Sumi for some Deco Clay classes--you know those beautiful flower classes--we will try to have classes with Deco Clay at least once every couple of months--still need to talk with Sumi. We have signed up classes with some of our regulars--Kelly Kilmer, Wendy Poma, and Gayle Smith. There will be others coming along. If you have a class you would like to see come to the shop, please leave a comment on this blog, email me or phone the shop. Have a wonderful week.

Once again, we will have breakfast and lunch together as well as all the projects. Starting time is 9AM, cost is $95. Maximum amount of students is 20. This Extravaganza we will not only do cards at one table but a project you can put together for hostess gifts for the holidays.

Sunday, October 26: Swatches: Little Paper Books 4 hours $70 I'm absolutely addicted to these little books. I guarantee after this class, you'll be too! After you pick from a hodge podge of "found" papers, you will assemble a variety of little paper books. We will quickly assemble a small pile of "swatches" learning a quick and easy bookbinding stitch as you go. We will then start to work quickly on the pages (but not too quickly) working in multiple books at one time, listening to our muses (no criticism only soft whispers of "go for it..."), we will collage, stamp, paint, doodle, stitch and play on the pages. You will learn how to work fast. You will learn a variety of new mixed media collage techniques. You will walk out with a small pile of books that you can toss in a bag and bring with you anywhere and everywhere. Supply list- Students should, please, bring to class: Favorite Glue stick, Scissors, bone folder, cork backed metal ruler, 3 1" bristle brushes to paint and glue with, container to hold water, small selection of collage ephemera to use, roll of waxed paper, roll of paper towels. Questions? Please email Kelly at Egorey99@sbcglobal.net
