Finish It!

We all have those unfinished projects--paintings, collage, drawings. Whether
you just need the time, new ideas, or fresh eyes to view your work, this workshop should help generate some completed projects.
This loosely-structured workshop will include beginning and ending group critiques, handouts and "ideas" examples,
and uninterrupted work time with as much or as little personal attention from the instructor as you request. Sun, Oct 2 10 - 4 $70
Finish It Supply List
As many of you know Kay, our dear artist,

Please make note and try to make either one or both on Oct 2 and Oct 3.

Book Structures: Variations on the Accordion
Jackie Hefty
Versatile and adaptable, concertina or accordion style book structures lend
themselves to so much more. We will 'play' with and investigate variations on a theme using these structures.
A style or structure that can be woven together, layered as a tunnel book, bound with a coptic stitch or played out like the
instrument it is often called by. Linear progression of a story line or imagery is favored by adults and children alike, yet
it can be appreciated for the simple alluring structural design alone. Paper choices/options will be discussed. Participants
will need to purchase or use from your personal stash as appropriate. No book making experience needed, no specialized tools
required to continue your 'play' at home. If you already have any of the items in the Basic Tool Kit, please bring. Thurs/Fri Oct 13/14 1 - 4:30 $ 115/$10 materials

Collage: Fun and Freedom Jackie Hefty
Papers, paint, glue and space to spread out. What better ingredients for fun. Utilizing the elements of
design, add some texture, sprinkle some contrasting or harmonious color, add a little tension or
perhaps a soothing flow, highlight with a metallic, and you are good to go. If only. . . You are invited to come, explore,
play and relax. Small little jewels or large wall statements, what is your comfort level? Fri. Oct. 21 , 1 - 5 $60/$10 materials

Snappy Scrappy with photo |
Snappy Scrappy Jackie Hefty
Feeling a little sassy? Join us for a 'breaking the rules' fabric collage playful
day. We will be raiding the fabric stash, using a variety of quilting and upholstery remnants to create what we affectionately
call "Snappy Scrappy". Layers, textures, lace, ribbon, and jewelry, buttons, or beads combine to become your
individualized Snappy Scrappy. Hand or machine stitch your choice pieces into a wall hanging, book cover or
fabric frame for a photo. We will have a few 'simple' sewing machines available, yarns and thread, an assortment
of pre-fringed upholstery fabrics (thanks Mom!) and background canvas for you, along with buttons, beads and other trinkets.
You are encouraged to bring any materials you wish to use and/or share. (Clean out your stash, well, within reason...)
It isn't necessary to have a quilting or fiber arts background, having a sense of color combinations and design will be helpful.
A playful attitude is greatly desired.
