Open Your Wings Mixed Media Workshop

This 3 week workshop (Opening July 6th) will gently guide you through two projects.

Faux encaustic work of art with found rusty elements and winged hearts. Two additional bonus projects are included in week three using plaster, clay and image transfer.

These projects will journey through,

~ faux encaustic, ~plaster, ~clay, ~image transfer and ~collage

With prompts to help you spread your wings, find your creativity and journey through the process soulfully.

My goal with this workshop is to give you an intimate setting with a small class size, to come as close as possible to teaching you live.

There will be a Q&A video at the end of each week, with one more follow up Q&A a week after the course ends to make sure everyone is flying.

I will answer each of your questions by video, demonstrating techniques and answering dilemas. What ever the questions are, I will cover it in person.

You'll receive a supply list, that is also available in the classroom. Believe it or not, there's not alot of supplies needed. Most items you will already have. There will be just a few things you might need to pick up, but you'll get the supply list a week before class opens so you can begin to gather.

You will also receive page after page of vintage papers and butterfly downloads to use in your projects.

A few more details

  • I walk you through each technique step by step so that you understand the medium that you're using.
  • We'll practice first, so that you can get a feel for what we're doing and get the jitters out.
  • I create right along with you, and I don't just show you the process, but share the mood and feeling behind creating.
  • You will have lifetime access
  • Videos are downloadable
  • Although this is a 3 week course you can take your time and work at your own pace. However, I will only be available for the 3 weeks to answer questions with real time video, after that I will reply via email.
  • The classroom has a discussion area where students can reply amongst each other, ask questions, make comments and post pictures of projects and your process.
  • All content is in the classroom, downloads, supply list and everything is downloadable.
  • You'll receive your classroom access a week before class goes live so you can make yourself familiar with your settings and you can get and download your supply list, watch a welcome video and get excited about creating.
  • There are no refunds allowed due to the fact that you will have course content available to you.
