Back to "School"

It’s Back to School time again, which fits with this “class” junkie! Besides taking classes, one of the things I like most is to teach classes, and I’m excited to have scheduled some classes this fall at Paper Zone.

The first class schedules is Artist Trading Cards 101, Saturday Sept 11, at 11:30. We’ll cover the basics of creating and trading these little pieces of Art. After the class (2:00) we’re holding an ATC trade with local artists. It should be great fun! Here’s an ATC I have on display at the store promoting the class.

Next it’s a Haunted House Chunky Book class, on October 2 from 11:30 – 2:30. We’re making “chunky” pages in a variety of house shapes, to either make a book or a table display. I’m having a blast making the “sample” pages. We have fun papers, stamps and embellishments in the store, and we’ll be using some of those as well as vintage papers and images. Here’s a couple simple pages I made with new scrapbook papers, punches and the 99 cent stamps.

Finally, I’m teaching Texture Technique’s on Saturday October 23rd, from 10:30 – 1:30. I’m most excited about this class! There are so many ways to create texture without adding “bulk”, and it will be fun to explore them. Warning! It will be a bit messy. 🙂 The backgrounds of these ATC’s show some of the techniques covered in the class.

About Helen Campbell / Natures Walk

I'm an artist and photographer who is totally hooked on nature. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, where we're lucky to have both ocean and mountains just a few minutes from home. Taking long walks exploring the area's flora and fauna is our greatest pleasure. Did I mention I love birds? Gardening for wildlife is a high priority, as is growing our own organic produce. We live the reuse, reduce, recycle motto! Life is good!
