Linda & Opie's Burnt Offerings: Art and Soul Bound

Well were off to Hampton and are very excited about our 4 workshops. Both jewelry classes are full – but a few spots remain in both the collage and assemblage workshops.

Here’s a little info about The Women of Juarez...

Our love of Mexico is a well known fact. We’ve been going there since the late 80’s. The art, the colors, the food and the people continue to touch our hearts, enrich our lives, and influence our art. This Friday workshop is a bit more personal and pays homage to the women of Juarez. The violence there against women is ongoing and no secret. Movies have been made, stories have been told, yet it continues.

This workshop is about awareness and empowerment and adding our voice once again to stopping violence against all women by creating a unique box construction shrine to house a dress that we will make from colorful tin cans, a vintage tin type, and some of your favorite beads, charms, Milagros, fibers, etc., using our favorite collage and assemblage techniques. Just a few spots remain, so come join us and create a treasured keepsake to hang on your wall to remind you that together we can each make a difference.

One half of the material fee will be donated to Artists for Amnesty - Amnesty International. All Levels.

and here's some info about Armchair Travel to Imaginary Realms...

Faraway places with strange sounding names (loved that song) … sending postcards back home to everyone you knew that said … “wish you were here”. (sighing – daydreaming)
Well in this Sunday workshop we’ll keep the postcards, but instead of flying, we’ll armchair travel and create through collage, the most amazing imaginary destinations our minds can conceive, and we’ll do it without leaving our classroom. How cool is that!
We’ll begin with a postcard or personal photo and from there build up layers of paints, inks, water soluble crayons, assorted pencils, stamps (both postage and rubber), text, drawing, scribbles, doodles and more. Lots of techniques – lots of fun – and minimal supplies to bring. We’ll also demonstrate printing a photo from a digital camera card, and how to make a really cool transfer from that photo. Your finished piece/s will be approx. 12” x 12” and worthy of hanging. All Levels.
