Drawing Skills: Learn
Perspective Kay
Brathol-Hostvet One of the most frustrating things for beginners and intermediate artists
is getting the perspective right in a drawing or painting. This one-day workshop will show you the "secrets" of
linear perspective through demonstrations, in-class projects and handouts to reinforce what you learn. We will also
explore unusual point-of-view, atmospheric perspective and other techniques that help create the illusion of depth on a 2D
surface. Sat,

Simple Metal Etching
Jacqueline Sullivan You'll be amazed when you find out how easy it is to etch
a design in metal! We'll work with rubber stamps and xerox transfer on brass and copper to create etched metal pieces
that that are works of art in themselves! In addition, you can draw or letter on the metal and then etch it to create
something completely original. Panels that you make will be good for book covers, embellishments for books, cards, and collages..
We'll do some simple patinas on the metal to enhance the designs. You'll be able to complete several pieces in class.
The supplies are simple and readily available and so you will be able to continue your metal play on your own at home.
Simple book structures will be demonstrated in class. Fri March 16 10 - 4:30

Paste & Patina
Papers Jacqueline
Sullivan
Many people have tried
paste papers but are not satisfied with the results. This class will help you learn the proper techniques for making paste
papers with a beautiful, smooth velvety finish. These papers are wonderful for binding books, making boxes, backgrounds for
stamping and collages. Because we are using a methyl-cellulose paste the surface is great for writing on - making them
good for calligraphy projects or beautiful journal pages! We will also learn Jacqueline's original Patina Papers - papers
that look like metal. Mon March 19, 10 - 4:30 $125/$20 materials
Students will work with simple color theories to keep their papers brilliant and
beautiful. There will be lots of tools on hand for making various patterns and images in the paste! Handouts for
the class will contain many recipes for the various colors of paste. These hand-outs will be in a spiral book, giving
students a permanent reference tool.
