Class starts Tues, Nov. 11th!!!!
An Altered Journal class with Sarah Whitmire: $45- 4 Weeks/Lessons
Week 1: Prep Work and Collage:
Start by learning how to choose a suitable journal, one that will take paint and not fall apart. Next, learn how to prep the journal to take paint, with techniques that can be used to prime many other surfaces for acrylic painting. Learn the basics of collage, with special tips on visual style and techniques that artists use to create visual interest. Learn techniques and methods for tearing and distressing paper, tips on what types of printed images will perform well and which will bleed, and tips on gluing work correctly and in an archival fashion. Get insider advice on color and composition that will help you in any of your future forays into mixed media art, while creating beautiful collage work on the covers of your new journal.
Week 2: Texture Tools and Stencils: Learn to make fun homemade stencils that allow you greater creativity in your stenciling and can save you lots of time and money shopping at craft stores. Next, add real 3-Dimensional texture to your journal covers using my personal, tried and true, secret technique. Also, learn the basics of vibrant and permanent Staz-On inks and cleaners, a wonderful product you'll find yourself coming back to time and again.
Week 3: Painting:
Learn the basics of color mixing as well as methods and practices for layering fluid acrylics to achieve your desired look. This week is the perfect lesson for newcomers to fluid acrylics and a great review for those with experience. Learn as you work, painting both covers this week. The techniques and theories learned this week can be applied to any mixed media project you plan in the future.
Week 4: Finishing Touches:
Bringing it all together. Use the collage techniques you learned in week 1 to finish the inside covers of your new journal. Learn ways to seal your journal so that it will stand up to wear. Also, learn to embellish your journal, and other future projects, with ribbons, fibers, brass embellishments and gold leafing to create the look you desire for your piece.
This is a fun upbeat class for all levels and NO prior painting experience is necessary! Join us! :)

Sarah, this is wonderful news and your journals are really beautiful. I'd love to join you and learn all the techniques, but you're only giving the list one week before? That's tight and I can't pop out to get things as I'm in a wheel chair. What do you say, could you make that two weeks? If I can get the supplies in time, I'll be signing in with you.
Believer,
Could you please email me. I'm sure we can work something out. The one week policy is Joggles and not mine.
My email is sarah@caspiana.com
Thanks a bunch
