Art & Soul Retreat blog hop

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
and a prize (oh, goody! goody!) 

 Are your fingers just itching to learn a bit about letterpress printing and get your fingers good & inky?

I'll be teaching at Art & Soul in Portland this autumn... letterpress printing. Going to haul lots of type, printing plates, paper, inks and other juicy art stuff. And my tabletop proof press. Woohoo!


We'll be printing & embellishing bookmarks, stationery, greeting cards, folding books, paperweights...
piles of lush printed papers. 
It's going to be a paperholic's dream.



But that's not all. Glenny's got a stellar lineup of wonderful instructors and tempting classes. Scoot over to Art & Soul (click here) for more information and registration.


Ready for a little taste?
Hop over to these blogs and you'll see a few of the other instructors and what they're planning. Just click on the artist name and you'll see their blogs.

Oh my goodness, you'll swoon when you see her work. I am drooling over the opportunity to take one of her classes. Wow. Her work is just fabulous.

Jenni blogs about her charmingly whimsical art... so sweet. She's teaching about how to paint a story.

Fused glass! Woohoo! Her class is sure to be fascinating. Imagine slumping your own glass...

She's a folk artist teaching mixed media relief work... I love her birds. No wonder she's so popular!

Papier mache clay folk art. She's teaching how we can make darling tiles. It's the grown up version of what I did in school... I fell in love with tile making way back then. Doreen's pieces look like vintage storybooks.

Want to collage some journal pages? Join Corey. And her jewelry is worth a blog peek, too.

Encaustics... painting with wax. Sounds addictive. Wouldn't this be fun to try?

Jen is a darling Australian whose jewelry from found objects is fresh & captivating. Boy, does her roundup of classes look like a wonderful form of self expression.

She makes the most amazing blown glass beads and she's going to teach torch fired enamels. Pure magic. I've done kiln fired enamels but never with a torch. I'm enchanted with Barbara's work.

Another mixed media genius! And she is going to let us all in on her secrets. Joy!

And that's just a start. We are going to have major creative goodness in September. 

Meet me in Portland!
Party in my room on Tuesday night... Let's do an art trade and chocolate feast!!!


If you're thinking of coming to Art & Soul in Portland, won't you email me? I'd love to get together, there is going to be serious artsy goodness there.

And something I have not announced before...
If you sign up for ANY of these classes, comment and tell me what you signed up for.
I will send you a special surprise! Just a preview of what we'll experience when we meet in person.
