Classes for July 2009

Friday July 3rd
Shrink Plastic Charms
with Paul
1:pm - 3:pm
$35.00
If you wrote off shrink plastic back in the days when Shrink plastic was only sold in pre-designed sheets, it is definitely time to take another look at this amazing medium. There are multiple shrink plastic producers, now, and sheets are available in clear, translucent, canvas white and black varieties. There are even sheets that are specially designed to be printed with an Ink Jet printer. Meanwhile, crafters have been pushing the boundaries of this fun plastic, discovering ways to transform the effect from childish to craftfastic. Fridays class is going to be a fun introduction to an old but still wonderful crafting medium.

Chunky Soldered Charm Pendant
with Tyn Atol
Friday July 10th
11:am till 3:pm
$65.










A new chunky charm class at Zinnia. This is a fun class because it will involve so many different mediums. We will be soldering, and doing collage, painting, and maybe even some stamping. These come out so different every time, and I think students will be pleased with their results.

Saturday July 11th
Triptych Book
with Kelly Kilmer
11:am - 3:pm
$70
Triptych book This class was a HUGE success at Artfest 2001 and across the U.S. It's one of my favorite book forms. I'm bringing it back and revising it-updating it! A very unique book that lends itself to a variety of different styles. Please bring favorite scraps of ephemera (old letters, journal pages, collaged tags, etc...) You will construct a three panel book from scratch that can be used as a journal, story album, photo album, memoribilia book and more! The stitch that holds the book together is easy and adds interest to the structure of the book. Learn unusual ways of incorporating favorite imagery and collage ephemera into the design of the book. Walk away with your own personal journal with your head spinning with ideas!

Friday July 17th
Vudu Angels Workshop
with Shari
1:pm - 3:pm
$55.
If you've ever been curious about Voodoo and Voodoo dolls this is the class for you. Join me for a fun afternoon where we will explore the world of Voodoo and make our own Voodoo dolls (or Vudu Angels as I like to call them). You will go home with a really great doll and some info to get you started on your journey into Voodoo.
Please note: Voodoo is a real religion and I am in no way a Voodoo aficionado. I will be providing you with an introduction and solid information on the subject. However, this class is intended for fun and entertainment purposes only. Use your power for good!
