Making Scrapping Easier

2 Mixed Media Classes

1.  The Painted Page

You are welcome to join Linda for an afternoon of fun and discovery.  We will be using acrylic paints, stencils, found objects, stamps and gel transfers to create a series of stunning background pages for your art journal.  We will follow our imaginations to create pages similar to those on display.  Each pager will be a work of art in itself, but will also be awaiting  your words of wisdom, quotes or further art work.

Subway Wall Art Workshop - By Trisha Ladouceur

Come join the Treasured Memories Staff and Trisha Ladouceur to create a fantastic unique piece of art and learn some new techniques at the same time.

 

Unlike any other class or workshop you have attended in the past, this one is sure to release your inner artsite from within. Subway Wall Art allows you to create your own collage masterpiece that is sure to inspire you to create many more in the coming days and weeks. We will play with numerous transfer techniques while altering a large canvas into an amazing work of art! With numerous choices along the way there is no possible way that any two projects will be the same!

 

You will have your choice of canvas size... either a 12"X24" (rectangular) or a 16"X16" (large Square)... please specify upon registration. There will also be two different themes to choose from... a Parisian inspired collection of images or a vintage botanical theme or perhaps you wish to use both? Do not limit yourself to the amazing possibilities that will come to fruition allowing EVERYONE to become a true ARTISTE even when they think it's not possible. 

 

This mixed media collage class is by far one of the favourite classes of my attendees at classes worldwide and lights a fire to create many, many more variations.

Black Distress Paint (or acrylic paint and brush)

Altered Art/Mixed Media Society

We will meet on the last Wednesday of each month to create AA&MM projects as well as share ideas, techniques and show off the objects we all create.  There will be a planned project for each meeting and a fee to cover cost of product or objects needed to create that month’s subject. The larger goal of these gatherings is to bring together like minded people with many different skills and areas of knowledge to share openly with one another so that all who participate are better empowered to become artists in what ever field of creation they may be interested in. I’d like to see all modes of creation explored over the months and years ahead, from carpentry and photography to sewing and welding, using wax, wood, metal, plastic, ink, glass, fabric, whatever.

 

Each month’s instructor may change depending on the topic and project. The first meeting will be lead by Daryl Benson (Chantel and KC’s Dad), and the first project will be to further discuss the direction of the society and to create a mixed media hanging display using domino tiles, goose neck display stand, wood cuts and other found objects. Cost is $30.00, everything will be provided to create a display similar to the one shown here (objects hanging from the domino tiles will vary depending on what each individual is interested in making).  Max. 15
