October Workshops at Snazzys

Welcome back.

I can't believe it is October already, I think the amazing weather of the past few weeks has put all thoughts of Autumn and Halloween from everyone's minds. So, with the leaves only just starting to turn and my now not so new studio space still not completely finished....

.....the October workshops are outlined below, but I have a couple of general points to share first.

 

The normal monthly Wednesday evening Mixed Media workshop will be moved from Wednesday evenings to Saturday afternoons for the Winter.

Art Journal Sunday will move from the last Sunday of the month to the first, starting with Sunday 2 November. As I am demonstrating at HSNW Port Sunlight this weekend there will be no AJ Sunday this month.

Our monthly Stop by and Stamp session will move from the first Tuesday of the month to the second starting on Tuesday 11 November - this month will be on Tuesday 7 October.

The monthly Technique Thursday session will also be moved back a week to the third Thursday of the month starting on Thursday 20 November - again, this month's session will be on Thursday 16 October as usual.

I'm sorry to be shifting things around just as everyone has got settled, but I will be away at events more often in the New Year and so need to find a pattern for the 'drop in' sessions which I can fit around this without varying the dates too frequently.

I will continue to include the dates on the monthly workshop schedules so you don't have to remember them!

On with the workshops....

 

Tuesday 7 October 11am to 3pm

Stop by and Stamp Cost £5

This month we will be using the new Pearlescent Pan Pastels together with the new black and white mediums and colourless blender. So, if you enjoy using Pan Pastels and want to learn a few new tips and techniques, or have never tried them and want to know what they are all about just pop along, watch the demos and join in. No need to book, kettle and coffee jug are on!

Wednesday 8 October 10am to 1pm

Envelope Accordian Book Cost £15 or 1 SWV

This is the third book I have designed using envelopes as a base, this time accordion style.
