October 23 and 24 Thursday and Friday Painting Pizzazz: Two days of a variety of painting, rubber stamping and printmaking techniques on fabric or paper. The painted pieces can be used for the Creative Collage class which is listed below. The class is jam packed with ideas and techniques.

October 25 and 26 Saturday and Sunday Creative Collage: Learn how to combine a variety of painted and rubber stamped fabric and/or paper into a wonderful collage. If you wish to sew the pieces, you can do hand or machine stitching. The classes will combine fibers, beads, ribbons, buttons and any other embellishments that you wish to include. I have a new book "Creative Collage" that will be a reference for this class. You will love the possibilites.

October 28, 29 Tuesday and Wednesday Needlefelting: The class will include a variety of needlefelting techniques. Each student will have the opportunity to make a variety of pieces in class, including a necklace, bracelet, wallhanging, embellished wearables, felted kniited and crocheted items, etc. I will be using the Clover needlefelting tool, but those who wish to bring an embellishment machine may do so. I use the Xpression machine from Janome and will demonstrate that machine in class.

October 30, 31 Thursday and Friday Creative Embellishments: This class will cover most of the techniques in my book "Creative Embellishments". We will be using a variety of materials in class and each student will have the opportunity to embellish current projects or projects produced in one of the other classes. Many of the techniques lend themselves to jewelry or embellishments for garments.

November 1, 2 Saturday and Sunday Using Digital Imagery in Creative projects: I am writing a book for Martingale about using digital imagery creatively. I will share five wonderful free websites with you. I will show you the incredible possibilities with digital images and show some very easy techniques for changing the images in your computer to use in your art. We will work on both fabric and cardstock and will be using paint, rubber stamping and mixed media on the images. For those who want to make dolls, I will have samples in class and you will need small photographs to print on fabric of faces. This will be a very special class and I think you will love it.
