Description: Ok... I know what you are thinking! Workshop Disclaimer, there is no pole dancing involved in this workshop, but there is sparkle and glitter! This is the next evolution of Patti’s most popular workshop, Paper Mosaics. In “Strip Club” you will create several handmade or altered sheets of paper using a variety of paint techniques, mark making and stamping…and we will also use the same torn paper technique from Paper Mosaic. Gold leaf, and glitter add bling to this project. (glitter optional!) However, this time instead of squares, we cut the handmade paper into strips and arrange them in a different manner. You have the option of including text papers, vintage papers, Gelli prints and some scrapbook papers to add into the mix. I will show you how to cut your papers to get a good fit and we will discuss the options of different adhesives and different ways to finish your project. You will leave with a beautiful 10 x10 panel that is ready to hang on your wall. The instructor provides all Materials.
Student Supply List: Scissors are all you need to bring.
Optional: If you have some favorite papers in your stash that you might want to bring, feel free to do so.

Honey! I Shrunk the Flowers
Date: Sunday, August 11th, 2024
Time: 10:00 – 4:30
Where: Side Street Framers and Gift Gallery in Pasadena, Maryland
8220 Ritchie Highway Suite #6
Class Description: The fascination with watching something big shrink into something tiny never gets old. I loved doing Shrinky Dinks when I was young, and I love using the professional quality of the Shrink Plastic that is available today. In this class you will use shrink plastic and several silicon molds to form and create beautiful flower beads. Each bead will have several layers of petals that will be hand colored using colored pencils to add to the unique design of the flowers you create. You will learn how to make wired wrapped beads and a simple assembling technique will bring it together in a charming necklace. Accent beads, chain, and jewelry findings will be provided as part of the class. The number of beads you make are dependent on how detailed you make each flower and how you manage your time. Trust me these little pretties are addicting to make. There will be plenty of guidance and assistance. All materials you need to create this necklace will be provided.
Students should bring:
Colored pencils (Prismacolor are recommended)
Chained nose pliers and flat nose pliers and round nose pliers. Wire cutters. We do have some jewelry tools in the studio available to share.

Fairy Door

Where: Art Collective
141A Market Street
Frederick, MD 21701

240-739-9023
Time: 10:30 – 4:30
Fee: $95.00
Class Description: This is one of the most whimsical and creative workshops that Patti teaches. Come spend the day creating a door to a magical world of make believe. Several years ago, I read an article about the Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor Michigan. Urban Fairy Doors are located throughout downtown Ann Arbor, tiny doors found on the front of select businesses open to reveal fairy homes. In my studio, I had a fairy door and most of the time it was a small child who would find it. Some even wrote letters to the fairies. This workshop will bring a little bit of magic into your life as you build your very own fairy door for your home. You can place your door inside your home in any room just above the baseboard. Other places you can place your door include a shelf, a bench or a cupboard. You can even create it to look like the door on the front of your house. In this workshop we will build and decorate a fairy door. Each student will be given a premade door that you will paint and decorated. We will use shrink plastic to make tiny flowers and create a wall to go behind our door. This is a great gift to surprise a small child. All materials will be provided. If you have something special to personalize your door, please feel free to bring it to class.
Legend has it that once your fairy door is attached, the fairies know, and they will visit.

Color pencils (if you have them)

3-1 glue by Beacon

Materials provided:
