Printed Patterned Painted Journal Making Class
“Why not have a journal full of prepped, ready-to-go pages for art journaling on hand? Using my favorite page surface treatment techniques, you can have a journal filled with pages ready to receive images, collage, writing, drawings, and more paint. The pages will not stick to together. All the color and visual texture will beg you to journal! You will find that you will journal more often and more easily when you have a journal loaded with prepared surfaces. The blank page syndrome, where when you crack open a journal to an empty page and every idea flies out of your head, will no longer be an issue for you! Two simple binding techniques will show you how to incorporate the papers into a book. One technique will lie complete flat for use and be so easy to make!
A number of people ave inquired about my teaching my page treatment techniques online. I have decided to have a class that covers as many techniques as I can! Join in! It will be a great holiday treat for you. You’re bound to discover techniques you will use again and again.
We’ll cover:
- scraped acrylics plus variations
- gesso and paint sgraffito
- combing
- acrylic medium and gesso resists
- stencils and masks- reductive stenciling, gesso+paint stenciling, using inks and other indoor spray products, making stencils and masks at home
- gelatin monoprinting
- adding surface texture with paper
- guerrilla printmaking- make-your-own foamie stamps, recycle bin stamps, paint rollers, homemade brayer stamps, carving a stamp
- nature printing
- two easy binding techniques will be shown so you can create a book with your papers
The class will begin on December 14 and will run until January 31. You can begin at any time and sign up late if you like. There will be three lessons posted each week. The binding techniques will be posted early on and be available for you to use throughout the class. We will have a photo pool for sharing images at flickr.
The cost is $35 for six weeks of lessons. You can begin at any time, and all the information will remain available until two weeks after the close of class. (This class will go offline on February 14)”
