Molas are a decorative folk art applique practiced by the natives of the San Blas Islands off of Panama. In this technique, several brightly colored fabrics are layered then cut away and reverse appliquéd to create a design, usually depicting Folk Art themes. A traditional Mola is made by hand but there will be an option to make one using an easy machine technique if you prefer. In the class, you will make a ‘Molita’ (a small Mola made for the souvenir trade), that can be made into a small wall hanging, pillow, or incorporated into a future garment or bag project. There will be a variety of tribal and folk art motifs to choose from.

I call this The Abundant Book because I celebrate all the beauty I have collected over the years.

In this class we will be making a 3 signature art book (9.5" x 6") We will create the pages using a variety of techniques-dyeing, fabric patchworking, collage on paper. We will gather a collection of vintage ephemera to fill in the book pages as well. There are demonstrations on my particular way to collage and paint. Taking these collages a step further by dipping them into dye baths. I demonstrate image transfers, several embroidery stitches which create beautiful mark making, wire work, stitching a patchwork, layering borders and bundles with complexity as well as simplicity. It all comes together as we gather our pages into signatures and sew those signatures to create a beautiful intriguing book. Supplies Needed to bring for Class:

This is an open level class as there is plenty to be learned by someone who has never painted before or those who are full time artists and teachers. A mix of demonstration, lecture and hands on painting will introduce students to my ideas, techniques and the concepts that motivate my work. In this mixed-media painting class you will learn to create paintings that emerge from an abstract base of markings, colors, line, and shape to form expressive and organic creations. Students will learn painting and mark making techniques that will encourage imagery and connection to their work. Through a series of painting exercises, you will explore and express your ideas by imagining what could be created from abstraction rather than confining your ideas to predetermined outcomes. Within the process we will create narrative dialogue by noting what we see and feel in our work . Through the practice of subtractive painting we will remove the parts that are no longer relevant or keep us trapped from progress. This teaches us choice and freedom to change direction in our work. We continually build layers within our paintings combining fragments of passed ideas with the new until we arrive at a feeling of completion . Through this engagement we learn to experiment, take risks, re associate our work from perspectives unconfined by our expectations. This allows us to see things clearly and move to a more expressed and personal engagement when painting. Using simple materials and techniques you will be free to express yourself within your paintings in new ways. finding yourself as a painter from the raw base of art, learning your personal likes dislikes. Connecting you to your practice and imagery from a position of experimentation and instinct. Teaching you to imagine the unimaginable.
For me painting is an experience in every way, i love the feeling of each If you would like to learn more about my teaching style and my background you can check out the videos below

Come and explore a new medium! Wax has a long and esteemed history in art and writing. Wax tablets were used with writing as early as the 7th Centruy BC. Today, wax has evolved into a translucent medium that is mixed with Oil Paints. Cold wax can be worked into a textural surface as well as making an ideal surface for carving marks. It is also possible to encapsulate and suspend collage elements within this medium. Often used abstractly, carving patterns and making marks in the wax is used widely by the abstract artists who work with Oil Paint and Cold Wax medium. In this class students will learn about building multiple layers with Cold Wax and Oil paints. The wax and paint will be brushed, smeared and spread into a pleasing composition of layered, translucent color. Once the layers are built, students can work back into them, making marks and patterns. When layering paint, understanding color theory is very important, particularly with translucent paint. Students will spend some time mixing colors and see how far they can “Push” the paint colors that are provided. The end result of this time spent emerged in wax and paint will be at several abstract paintings. Cold Wax Medium and oil paints are not entirely solvent free, but in today’s world, they have been distilled until they are almost fragrance free. No paint thinners or other irritants will be used in this class.

This lesser known Art movement started in Italy in the 1960's.

What is more fun than opening a present at Christmas or your Birthday? Answer: Eco Printing! What can be more intoxicating as a Creative, than to be surprised by amazing color and experimentation?! Discovering the process of eco-printing is like opening a gift every time a new print is revealed! Eco-printing is a process using plants, flowers, and other natural materials to create amazing colorful prints on paper or fabric – with no paint! Through a process of steaming or emersion, the natural tannins in plants are printed onto the paper or fabric through pressure and contact. This produces a wide range of colors with a never-ending surprise of results – just like opening a gift, it’s always a delightful SURPRISE! At the end of class – (& if the instructor can entice everyone to stop printing for a few moments!) - Trish will provide instruction on how to make a very simple journal using some of your favorite pages! Expect to get messy, experiment, be surprised, connect with nature, AND unwrap & unleash JOY!

Take a walk on the dark side and join a Día de los Muertos (Day of the dead) celebration with the Black Sheep Artist! Observed annually throughout Mexico (and many other places too). This macabre holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support them on their spiritual journey. The unique food, activities, and art that surrounds the celebration is simply astonishing and I am totally inspired and enthralled by all of it! Drawing inspiration from the rich and colorful traditions of the holiday, as well as a bit of so-called "Goth" style, we will transform a "thrift store rescue” porcelain doll into a beautiful tribute to those who have gone before us. Don't be scared...it's just a doll. Materials Fee $30 paid at beginning of class includes:
• DoD design example sheets To complete the project, students MUST come to class with the following supplies:
• one porcelain doll with the clothes still on it

The best thing about working with acrylic paint is the versatility of the medium. Jacqueline is a certified teacher for Golden Paints and will use her experience to guide students in exploring making various textures to be used in their painting practice. We’ll work with textural elements like tissue and cheesecloth and other household items. Students will learn about acrylic pastes and mediums as they build their textured painting. The paintings will be built layer by layer with textures on top of one another as well as in separate areas. Students will be painting with thin glazes of acrylic paint and then begin adding additional layers of textures and paint. This will result in richly textured surfaces and very interesting abstract paintings. Students will develop an understanding of how to make many different acrylic mediums work better for them in their art work. Using the principles of design in creating an Abstract Painting is an integral part of the class. Materials Fee $15 paid at beginning of class includes:

This is the workshop that started it all for me. My very first A&S workshop, and most popular class! Originally envisioned way back in '03, I have been teaching, practicing, improving, and fine tuning the design of this all-metal book binding since then, and I think I have it down (finally). We'll start with some heavy watercolor paper you can customize to make your book just perfect for writing, journaling, painting, scrapbooking, or whatever else you might want to do with your Glass Journal!
In this "form and function" workshop, students will begin by learning how to fabricate the entire metal book binding, completely "from scratch", give it a nice patina with some chemicals and a torch, and later, adorn it with chain, beads, charms, and other do-dads. Then, we'll attach the glass covers and some cool transparent photos. This unique binding and the skills you'll use to make it, once mastered, can be easily adapted to make book covers from many other materials and other mixed media art applications! Two transparent photos are included in your kit, but you are more than welcome to bring more personalized images for your covers if you wish. Just print out any 2 photos you like on transparency film at 4.25" sq. just don't trim them to size yet! Beveled glass covers come pre-drilled in your kit, due to time constraints of this one day workshop, but feel free to bring your own Dremel tool and a 1/8" diamond drill bit if you want to try your hand at drilling glass in class. Materials Fee $45 paid at beginning of class includes:
Fully illustrated instruction booklet To complete the project, students MUST come to class with the following supplies: 16 pieces of 90# watercolor paper (either hot press/cold press, but it looks best hand torn). Each sheet should measure 3.75" x 7.5" (We will have time to give your paper a quick paint wash to give it some color, but if you like, please feel free to paint, stamp, collage, dye, color, or otherwise decorate your paper before you attend, just use lighter colors, and a not-too-busy design on at least two of the sheets, so the transparent images show up well on the front and back of the book.)

This class is inspired by two (of the many) artists whose work has influenced mine. There has been so much discussion in social media about copying, learning from, and being influenced by, in recent days. It is a confusing topic for artists just starting out, and apparently for some who have been around a long time.
I decided to try this setting up of small salons to learn about artists that have influenced my work. In the class we analyze both painters, what they did and how, and what I thought made their approach unique (You will learn how to do this for artists you might want to study). We then set about using one of each of their paintings to inspire a painting of our own. These artists are Wayne Thiebaud and Wolf Kahn.

Siddi patchwork originated in India and was brought to Africa where it became known as Kawandi Patchwork. The method is the same for both and is used to make light, summer-weight quilts without batting. Traditionally hand stitched, this technique may be done by machine as well if hand sewing is not your cup of tea, though the hand sewing is remarkably easy and fast. In this class, you will make a small, table mat sized sample either by hand or machine by your preference ,to learn the technique. The quilts are typically very colorful and scrappy being made to use up and recycle salvaged fabric scraps. The kit will include a grab bag of scraps in a variety of colors for the project.
Please be courteous to others by arriving for class with the correct supplies. Contact me at 503-631-8806 or helene.m.knott@gmail.com if you have any questions. a fat quarter foundation fabric, a grab bag of fabric scraps, thread (perle cotton for hand sewing or 12 wt. sewing thread for machine), a Sashiko needle (for hand sewing) or a package of Top-stitching needles for machine sewing.

Let’s make a delicious mess! I love gelatin plate mono-printing and I think you will too. In this class we will dive into my favorite question; What if… as we explore color, texture and pattern. We will create a great stash of unique papers and fabrics through a combination of gelatin plate mono-printing, wood block printing and thermofax screen printing. Gelatin plate printing is a fun and easy method of mono-printing that results in surprises and delights. We will use both the traditional gelatin plate and the synthetic plates. Create unique textures and patterns using found objects (aka-junk), stamps, stencils and resists or masks. Thermofax screen printing uses a fine mesh screen to create graphic images on fabric and paper. It is quick and easy and slightly addictive. In the morning we will focus on experimenting and discovering texture and pattern. In the afternoon we will shift to layering techniques to create fantastic one-of-a-kind fabrics and papers.
Materials Fee $30 paid at beginning of class includes: paints, mediums, tools, wood blocks, gelatin plates, synthetic plates and thermofax screens. I also bring fabrics and papers to supplement your stash. Supplies Needed to bring for Class: 3-4 yards of natural, white or light-colored fabrics. Mottled or patterned fabrics work too. Muslin, cotton, sheeting, light canvas or duck, sheer fabrics, quilting fabrics, polyester, really any type of smooth fabric is fair game for this technique. You can bring some textured fabrics to experiment too. Give those ‘what was I thinking fabrics’ a new life! An assortment of papers to print on: vintage papers, tissue, deli, art, old book pages, maps.
If you have a synthetic gel plate such as Gelli plate Gel Press or please bring it.

In this class we will be bleaching flannel shirts for a distressed look and then embellishing them with rust dye (printed fabrics with a celestial theme) Bring 2 flannel shirts that fit you to class. I ask you to bring 2 because occasionally the dye used in the shirt will just not bleach out, it’s rare but could happen and I want you to have one that will bleach. Only one shirt will get used for class. We will upcycle them with muslin fabric I have pre-rust dye printed with stars and celestial elements by stitching them onto the shirt. We will rust dye vintage lace in class you can use too. You can embellish your shirt with as many or as little elements as you want. Shirts will be folded or twisted to bleach only portions of the shirt, or you can bleach the whole shirt. We will be outside to do the bleaching of the shirts (I will provide Tyvek protective aprons). After shirts are bleached and rinsed we will put them all in the washer to further rinse the bleach smell out. While the shirts are washing, we will take pieces of quaker lace to rust dye to use as trim on the shirt. We will take the pre-rusted muslin fabric with stars and other celestial elements to cut out the areas we want to stitch onto the shirts. These rust dye printed fabrics can also have color added to them by painting Dye-Na-Flow pigment dyes onto them if you choose. After lunch when the shirts are washed and dried we will stitch our muslin pieces onto the shirt, also adding the lace pieces if you want. I will have lots of buttons, including ones with stars, to add to the front of the shirt for further embellishment. Stitching will be mostly done by hand to finish and revive your flannel shirt. Materials Fee $20 paid at beginning of class includes: Pre-rust dyed fabrics, lace pieces to dye, buttons to choose from, other embellishments to choose from, fusible webbing should you want to iron your fabrics onto shirt. Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
Pins and Pincushion
Optional:
I will have extra supplies should you need them and I will have a few items for sale.

Angels & Icons is a mash-up of inspirations that results in unique, textural, and globally influenced mixed media artwork that takes figurative artwork in a fun new direction. The original inspiration for this series of work came from a mix of Mexican Folk Art and Russian Orthodox Icons along with my own personal influences and experiences. If angels and / or icons aren't your thing? No worries! Students have taken this project in many directions including fairy queens, a comic book hero, a butterfly princess, a shaman, or any strong male or female figure that you want to convey.
We'll use a combination of techniques and products including collage, fabric, stencils, stamps, heat embossing, and lots more as we make our collaged figure and background on an 12" x 16" canvas panel. Materials Fee $10 paid at beginning of class includes:

A typical cruciform symbol is named after the Latin word for "cross-shaped", having a simple construction of two perpendicular intersecting lines. Using this shape in an abstract painting gives us a place to start and build from. We’ll work with the “rule of thirds” with either a high cross or low crossing line. We’ll build out from our cruciform with simle collage and texture. The class will use Golden Fluid Acrylics and Golden High Flow paint to build their paintings with thin layers of color. Students will receive a lot of individual attention and the painting that they leave with will be truly their own expression Materials Fee $10 paid at beginning of class Supplies Needed to bring for Class:

This class is a journey through a garden of your own creation to wear when you need the soft embrace of Mother Nature. Fabric pieces are laid on the table, littered with fallen leaves, bygone rose petals, neglected rusty relics of iron and copper, perhaps sprinkled with tea or marigolds. Bundles of nature are wrapped, bound, and steamed then left to transcend and create magic. Raw silk gauze scarf lengths of fabric will be dyed. While the scarf fabrics are simmering we will rust and botanical dye small pieces of fabrics that you may want to stitch onto your final scarf piece or use in other projects later on. I will show you how to finish the scarves with my hand-sewn hem method using embroidery floss and running stitch. If you choose to bring buttons or old lace these can be added on the ends or maybe some rhinestone chain to add bling.
You must be prepared to smell the heady aroma of eucalyptus and onion skins steaming and be open to the surprise transformation of the dye process. Materials Fee $25 paid at beginning of class includes: 2 scarf blanks, fabrics, dyes, embroidery thread and needles, botanicals and other goodies. Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
Pincushion I will have extra scarf blanks for sale as well as some vintage lace, etc. for embellishment. Please contact me if you have any questions

Do you love the look of watercolor but aren't quite sure how to get started? Watercolor is everywhere in mixed media lately, with a dizzying selection of watercolor tools and products to choose from. In this class, we'll take the fear factor out of this fun and versatile form of painting and layer in lots of fun mixed media elements. We'll start by learning a few terms, approaches, and brush strokes that are the foundation for an endless variety of techniques and projects. We'll then add in several household and mixed media products to create cool effects and unique looks. With these core concepts under our belts, we'll play and experiment to create one-of-a-kind backgrounds. Then we'll make watercolored focal points both with basic brush strokes and by incorporating stamps and coloring images that can be combined with collage elements and other supplies to make beautifully layered mixed media artwork to frame, use as a card, or add to a journal.
Materials Fee $5 paid at beginning of class includes:
• A variety of add-ins to create fun textures and effects with your watercolors Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
• A basic set of watercolors with enough colors to create backgrounds and elements with variety (you can also mix your own if you feel confident.) Don't forget black and white! (Watercolor is a discipline where the quality of your supplies really does make a difference, but for this class you can even bring a set of Prang or Crayola kids watercolors and still learn the techniques and make the projects.)

In my mixed media art, I like to say that I start with a broom and end with a needle, meaning I start big and free and end with small meaningful details. We will spend the morning painting, drawing, collaging, and printing on various substrates, such as paper, copies, mag pages, folders, and fabric scraps, to create your mixed media stash. We will create pieces that are layered with scribbles, mark-making, stencils, and stamping with lots of fun and unique tools. You will also explore color, texture, and pattern in mixed media mark-making. In the afternoon, we will use your mixed media stash to create a hard-covered collaged accordion fold book utilizing your unique mixed media papers and fabric scraps.
You will walk away with a stack of pieces that can be used later in other personal projects and your accordion fold book. I will be bringing lots of stencils and stamps to work with, but if you have your favorites, you can bring those to play with. Materials Fee $ 20 cash paid at beginning of class includes:

A Spirit Wand can be used as a meditation tool, art piece, healing stick, or for whatever purpose you would like to call into your life. In a way, when we begin creating this wand, we set an intention for its use, which "programs" it for the specific purpose. The Talking Stick is a First Nations custom used when people are discussing an issue or topic. Only the person with the talking stick has the right to speak. It helps slow down our minds and just listen, as we know we won't be speaking until we get the talking stick. There is no talking over someone else. It makes us aware that conversation includes talking, thinking, and listening. Meditative and fun, we will infuse our sticks with an intention, a wish, a poem, or an affirmation. This will serve as the base layer, before we add our yarns, washi tapes, paints, feathers, charms, beads, crystals and more, to create this beautiful and powerful wand. I will show you how to meditatively wrap your stick with yarns and ribbons, including using a simple pattern to give it more texture and interest. Materials Fee $20 paid at beginning of class includes:
Yarn Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
A stick, any size between 6” - 12” ideally.

In this fun approach to creating your own mixed media spirit dolls, we'll create unique characters that hold our wishes and dreams on the inside and feature unique faces and features on the outside. I'll teach you how to sculpt your own face and head from clay (although there will also be molds available.) We'll learn a fun and easy process for painting the heads and preparing them for their headdresses and then we'll create easy no-sew bodies. Once the basic pieces of our dolls are complete, the fun really begins as we wrap, dress, and accessorize our spirit dolls with fabric, wire, ribbons, beads, feathers, and more.
In the end, we'll have spirit dolls full of both their makers' hopes and their own unique personalities. You'll have the option to mount your completed doll in a vintage industrial spindle (included in your kit) which you can add into a larger installation later. I'll also share and discuss how I added additional pieces and features into my dolls to create truly individual and meaningful works of art. Materials Fee $15 paid at beginning of class includes:

• Scissors (both paper and fabric scissors if you keep them separate)

What does it mean to create a painting that is informed by the natural world around us, but is not exactly representational? The difference between representational painting and abstract painting is that in abstract work, the subject is not as evident. Working with acrylic paints, students will be encouraged to let go of object orientation and see the landscape simply as shapes, colors and values. This workshop explores abstraction, composition, color and mark making, through the lens of landscape Students will learn how to coax hints of reality from an abstract background and perhaps how to integrate some textural and/or collage materials. Materials Fee $15 paid at beginning of class includes:
• 6 Small pieces (about 6” x 9”) of 140# CP watercolor paper Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
• 1” Flat Brush ( Lately I have been using Simply Simmons brushes)

Your curiosity and imagination are the keys to discovering your intuitive self. You know this instinctively in your heart and soul because when you are in the midst of your creativity and making art you can feel the tingling sensation of time standing still. The feelings of you being rooted in the center of your being and that your artistry flows and pours forth from your hands and heart, sending thrills throughout your whole body. Granted getting into flow comes easier to some of us than others, and every single human is creative. Imagination is our birthright. Intuitive Storyscapes with Lorri Scott and Jen Cushman will take you on a journey toward yourself to create a beautifully intimate and instinctively meaningful work of he{art}and soul. Storyscapes embody collage with fabric, fiber, paper, nature finds, and other unique elements that are hand dyed, painted and stitched. Add into that mix an empowering oracle card that you’ll draw for inspiration and to help jump start your creative narrative and the result will be your own meaningful “storyscape”. We begin class with an intuitive Mandala created collaboratively by the instructors before you arrive comprised of dyed fabrics using rust, botanical, and other techniques interspersed with lace pieces, printed words on fabric, scenes printed on organza and all other elements to create with. An oracle card for our creative community will be drawn and shared with the class and then each person will walk around the mandala gathering pieces that intuitively call to you to become your Storyscape. This shared experience of gathering our art materials in a new way sets the tone and feel for the day of both joyful collaborative community and soulful introspection. After choosing the pieces instructors will talk about the elements of collage and how to apply them. Collage begins with an idea. When we walk the mandala various pieces of fabrics and elements will jump out at you so you grab it to add to your remnants. After collecting from the mandala and stepping back to reflect on what you’ve chosen inspiration will begin to take hold and guide you to a beautiful and unique-to-you arrangement. Throughout the day, participants are encouraged to approach Jen if they wish for a quick five minutes or less oracle card reading for further inspiration or clarity to guide your creativity to a final “storyscape”. Lorri will talk about stitching ideas, adhesives, bindings, attachments, and how to hang your final piece. We can stitch pockets on the back to add your empowering oracle card and other items or written words you want to include. It helps to come with an open mind, no preconceived notions or expectations. This workshop is perfect for those who want to participate in a new experience of intuitive collage with intention and style.

Each day and every moment we have a choice in our lives to be happy or sad or angry. We’re always thinking as human beings and our thoughts produce a full range of feelings and emotions. These thoughts and feelings prompt our actions.
What would your life be like if every day you wake up and choose happiness, or peace or joy or contentment? What if you could train your mind like your exercise your muscles to become strong enough to see the good in nearly every situation? Join me for a fun-filled workshop to create your very own personalized oracle card deck that speaks directly to your heart. As the artist, you will create your watercolor backgrounds and then layer on words and imagery to design artful pieces of wisdom that you can use daily to check in with yourself. Think of your deck as a handmade weather gauge of what your soul needs to know. My simple hand-drawn images were important to me in the making of this deck because I plan to produce my joyful deck for others to purchase and use for intuitive inspiration. Collage is my happy place medium, but I knew using other people’s images would hinder my ability to commercially print my own deck. I took a big deep breath and started drawing, letting go of all judgement and getting into my childlike, wonder-filled mind. Guess what? I love what I created because it’s whimsical, lighthearted and uplifting. It’s also 100% me. If you can’t draw do not let this miniscule detail stop you from taking this workshop if it’s calling to you. I’ll be bringing a large supply of ready-made stickers and cool collage materials for you to use in the creation of your deck, along with instruction of how to artfully combine all the elements. Each student will also be supplied with a cheat sheet of hand drawn elements and tracing paper to transfer the lines onto your watercolor backgrounds. In addition, you’re welcome to bring imagery that personally speaks to you and is in harmony with your artistic aesthetic. I promise you no two decks in this workshop will be alike and that’s the point.
It helps to come with an open mind, no preconceived notions or expectations other to have fun and enjoy being thoroughly, creatively YOU. Materials Fee $15 paid at beginning of class includes:
22 pieces of premium watercolor paper pre-cut to 3.5 X 5.25 of standard oracle card deck size Supplies Needed to bring for Class:

I love fabric and thread just as much as I love paper and glue. So why not combine the two? In this workshop we'll explore a variety of techniques for using both paper and fabric as we stitch and stick our way to a textured and layered mixed media collage. If sewing isn't your thing you can “stick” with glue. And if you do sew, the stitches can be as basic or fancy as you’d like and you can do a little or a lot – it’s all up to you. (Stitching demos will also be provided for those who want to learn the stitches in my samples.) We'll combine paints with rubber stamps, paper, and fabric and make a layered and collaged background. You'll also learn a fun and easy technique for using stencils to create a layered focal point combining fabric and paint with stencils and paper, then finish with final accents and optional stitches. There will also be a discussion and demonstration on how to combine bits and pieces to create unique embellishments to add to your piece so that you finish with a fabulous mash-up of fabric and paper that's ready to display.

This class is open to all levels including those who have never painted before. this is a great class for anyone who has struggled with or would simply like to explore new and expressed ways of creating faces. using fun simple techniqes we will carve imagery into - ez carve printing blocks, and experiment with mono printing. allowing us to print the imagery in a variety of ways. its more about the way we print the image then the complexity of the carving. in most cases the simpiler the better. Once we have experimented with carving and printing we will be ready to work the pieces into expressed artifacts. reshaping, and reworking the imagery in ways that give it an aged and weathered look. we will use text and symbols to add meaning and question within the work. Using block printing as a base for creation will allow experimentation without the fear of mistakes. We will be able to repeat the imagery with ease by simply reprinting from our carvings. this repeated imagery will encourage us to experiment with new techniques like subtraction methods and compare the various printing and redefining methods against one another. the techniques are quick simple and imediate keeping things fun and moving forward. These techniques and concepts work perfectly in connection with any of my other painting methods. So if youve taken a class with me previously these techniques will act as new tools which you can incorporate with any other concepts you have learned. If you would like to learn more about my teaching style and my background you can check out the videos below In this video I explain my ideas and motivation while painting. if you ever wanted to take a class with me this video will give you a good idea of how I teach and think about painting. https://www.facebook.com/521281040/videos/10158785508571041/ This 6 minute video shows me painting a 8x12 ft mural from start to finish in time lapse with text explaining my ideas while creating the piece to see over 3000 examples of my work and to find out more check out my site - www.jessereno.com Kit fee of $15 paid to instructor at beginning of class includes:
