Swatches Books class this Saturday!

Swatches: Little Paper Books with Kelly Kilmer

11 to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 18th

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, small selection of collage ephemera to use, roll of waxed paper, old rag or roll of paper towels. Questions? Please email Kelly at Egorey99@sbcglobal.net





You can see more Swatches books on my blog scattered through out September to December.
