NOTE: Sewing machine experience required. Japanese gardens are an aesthetic blend of stone and plant. The stones lie quietly steadfast throughout the seasons while the plant life is ever transitioning from one season to the next. In this class you will create your own fabric scroll-like pathway of stones and a touch of the ephemeral with three-dimensional leaves or blossoms that have drifted onto the path. The stones will be appliquéd by hand, machine or fused as per your preference and some stones can be created in dimensional appliqué if you wish. If the idea of Wabi Sabi stone colors does not appeal to you, the stones can be rendered in modern graphic fabrics. tribal fabrics, or floral themed prints. Methods for creating 3-D botanical features will be demonstrated in class. The quilts are small, around 6” - 8” wide and about 16” - 20” long; Available Kit for $30 cash paid to instructor at beginning of class includes: fabrics for the path, batting, backing, stabilizer, thread, and a bamboo hanging rod. Students purchasing kits will still need to bring a pencil and eraser, a black Sharpie® pen, scissors, pins, a seam ripper, and a sewing machine with both regular and free-motion presser feet (or arrange to borrow one at the venue) Supplies Needed to bring to Class if not purchasing the kit:
• Fabrics: Fat quarters should be adequate for a small-sized pathway. If you are going for realism, look for fabrics with a sandy, gravelly, or mossy texture for the base. Bring a few options if you can, it’s better to have more than one choice for the perfect path. You will also need fabrics for the stones. You can choose just one fabric print for all of them or use a variety for more interest. For individual stones, leftover scraps from other projects will do. Fabrics with a rough stone-like texture – batiks, hand dyes and/or Northcott’s Stonehenge line, are perfect choices. You can add 3-D blossoms or leaves to embellish your quilt; however, it may be easier to pick colors/textures for these after your path is finished, batiks in flower or leaf colors would be suitable. As would fussy-cut leaf prints. In class you will learn a few different ways you might embellish your pathway with botanical elements. If realism is not your cup of tea, you can explore other fabrics – ethnic, floral, or graphic prints can make interesting pathways. Pre-wash all fabrics if you are planning on a fusible technique. Design resources: if you should wish to design your own path of stones, there are some wonderful examples of Japanese Garden paths on Pinterest and Google images, a few are listed below:

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:

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:

Years ago, I could not find finger-less gloves other than the bulky wool rag ones that only came in boring gray. Now they are a fashion statement, made even more popular by the character – Claire, in the series Outlander. You can find them in fancy boutiques and order them online, but to make them yourself requires knitting or crochet skills. Welcome to no-knit finger-less gloves and arm warmers. In this class you will make a pair of custom embellished hand/arm warmers without knitting a stitch. You will start with a carefully selected pair of commercially knitted socks that you will alter, and then adorn with embroidery to your heart’s content for a beautiful, unique pair of finger-less gloves like no other. Kit Fee $7 cash paid at beginning of class includes: 2 sizes of Tapestry needles and a variety of yarns and flosses Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
• Socks: These should be commercially made, they will be easier to convert into gloves than hand knitted ones. For best results, they should be bulkier than thin dress socks and feel snug and comfortable if you slip your hand into one. You can choose a pair of ankle socks for short hand-warmers, or go for knee socks to make a pair of arm-warmers that go all the way to your elbows.

We’ve been conditioned to think art is about developing technique or natural born ability...but I say “bullshit!” I believe art is about tapping into the human soul and awakening the freedom to be comfortable with our own marks, our unique placement of shape, our use of color and then connecting the parts instinctively into a whole. It is not enough to be an intuitive painter. Artists use the intuitive process beyond the mark to tell their stories, but first we must embrace the pieces of our untethered artistic soul. Develop your artistic instincts. Trust the instinctual process of allowing what’s inside of you to come out by embracing the intuitive mark-making that is in your heart without any thought. Lean into the fear of letting go or expectations and allow your painting to evolve based on pure emotion. Embrace what you do and never question anything about it. There is no analysis, judgement, or do overs, in intuitive painting. There is no discipline or thought necessary. It is your gut, heart, and soul talking, not your brain. Students will learn to work in acrylic layers across a large canvas as Donna shares tips for building a stronger working knowledge of color blending transitional layers while experimenting with tools, textures and shape. Begin to confidently use the surface as your narrative and paint what feels right...allow your story to unfold naturally.
Students will need the following supplies 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

One of the most magical discoveries I have experienced as an artist is that, "I can paint faces!!" These were the exact words that escaped in excitement when I finished my first portrait. Since painting that portrait, I have not only seen my portrait work grow beyond my own personal artistic boundaries, but I have also gained a more expressive quality and voice in my work. Exploring this new expressive approach to my art, I can directly attribute much of that growth to simplifying my portrait painting process. I designed this class for all levels from the very beginner to the practiced artist. Although we will work together in establishing some basic portrait basics, we will not draw a single line! NO DRAWING NEEDED. We will be painters, enjoying the art of the painted portrait without measuring and technical mumbo jumbo that only confuses the joy of painting.

In this workshop we will create a beautiful acrylic and inked background using stencils, stamps and distressed inks. Once we are finished with our background, we will bring in our focal point. Choose an image from my collection of magazines or bring your own image that you would like to use. Your image can be a person, animal, flower etc. Whatever suits your taste.
After our Drawing Warm-Up we will do a Quick Sketch (Gestural Drawing) for no more than 10 minutes. We are going for speed rather than accuracy. This is a drawing exercise, we are not looking for perfection, this is just another way of loosening up. We will place our image over carbon paper and trace our image onto our background. Or, if you are comfortable drawing freehand, please do! This is a great way to train your hand how to draw an image. After you trace your image, you can alter it with additional drawing and painting. With more and more practice using this technique...before you know it, you'll be drawing without tracing paper! Every student will leave with a finish painting on a MDF Panel ready for hanging. Students of every experience level are welcome!

Imposing order in a chaotic abstract work can often be difficult. Remembering the rule of thirds is always helpful when analyzing our work. Within that rule, there are several techniques that we can use to define a horizon line. Whether a low or high horizon line this technique helps to convey a sense of atmosphere and place in abstract works. We'll begin our paintings working with fluid acrylics. Then we'll learn some mark-making techniques, using high flow acrylics to define the horizon lines in the painting. We'll make our paintings on watercolor paper then crop/cut them into 5" x 5" squares and mount them onto cradled boards to stand on a mantle or shelf or hang on a wall. Kit/Materials Fee $10 (payable to instructor at class time) includes:
Cradled wooden panels
Fluid and High flow paints
Acrylic brush - about 1" in width. I like the Golden Taklon brushes. You may want other sizes but this is the basic.

This class will introduce you to a new approach to quilting. The stitching is the main event and is carried out in black thread on patterned fabric much like a pen and ink drawing. You do not need to be a master quilter to do this, you will be tracing a design with your sewing machine. After the thread sketching has been completed, you will color the design images much like you might color in the lines of a coloring book, using colored pencils, crayons, or gel pens. Some basic experience with free motion stitching is recommended. There will be a variety of design subjects to choose from. Please note that some of the examples may show stitching and coloring on collaged and pieced backgrounds, in class you will practice this method on a single layered and quilted piece of fabric. Kit Available for $20 cash paid at beginning of class includes: two pieces of fabric (top and backing), batting, sewing thread, tracing paper, master pattern, and shared use of colored pencils, crayons and/or pens. Students purchasing kits will need to bring pencil and eraser, a sewing machine with free motion presser foot. (or arrange to borrow one at the venue), extra sewing machine needles, and thread snips or craft scissors
Supplies Needed to bring for Class if you do not purchase a kit:
• Fabric: You will need a 9”x 12” piece of somewhat plain fabric. It should be a fairly light colored for the colors to show up well, and can have a fine textured subtle print. Take care that the print is not so graphic as to interfere with your sketching.

We will have sewing machines to share provided by Montavilla Sewing Center. This block piecing technique, known domestically as Folded Log Cabin, is also sometimes called Manx Quilting because it is said to have originated on The Isle of Man where it is called a ‘Roof Block’; once you start piecing, the similarity to laying roof shingles will become apparent. Strips of fabric are stitched, folded and layered to make a delightfully textured surface. To make this technique even better, you are quilting the block as you go so when you have you are done with a block, it is already quilted and ready to be finished into a mug rug, or a mat.
Kit Available for $15 cash paid to instructor at beginning of class includes: Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
Fabrics: You will need a dozen or more fabrics.

The freedom of expression. This is the powerful, yet simple truth we explore as artists when we put paint to canvas. In this workshop, you will learn to develop a strong composition, loosen your brushwork, how and when to load up your brush with paint and use value to develop dramatic juxtapositions of shadow and light. In my own artistic journey, flowers have represented freedom. This course was developed to share how painting flowers comes without boundaries! Artists are allowed to paint in all shapes and sizes and infinite amount of colors. Paint them with a bit of whimsy, exaggerate the lean of the stems or add a fallen bloom resting beside the vase (a little something I commonly add into my floral pieces). I want you to feel absolute creative freedom as I guide you towards painting loosely and with unbounding joy. You will leave with two beautiful expressive floral paitings!
Course will focus on:
Students will need the following supplies for class:

We’ll start with creative mark making using oil pastels and stamping found items into acrylic paint. I’ll show you the tricks for using the right colors to create contrast and the tips to avoid muddy colors. We’ll use spray inks and acrylic paint through stencils, and use rubbing plates and stamps to create beautiful resists. But we’re not done yet! We’ll also use the gelli plate to create gorgeous textures and patterns that we will also pile more fun layers onto! I’ll also show you some very simple techniques with my favorite of all time art supply: the paint pen! They truly add that finishing touch and really are the life of the party!
