Repeat Session: November 28 – December 2, 2011
This is a mixed-media-junkie’s dream project! Junk mail combined with gesso, watercolor, a little swirly technique here, some packing tape there, creates beautiful and complicated textures that you can use as backgrounds for any mixed media projects you currently have going. In this class we’ll use our pages to create an irregularly shaped book. Then, we’ll DRAW! You will begin a drawing on one spread, with the goal of having each image connect to and work with the images from other spreads. The drawing exercises throughout the week will build up to you being able to see more creatively and embrace the “puzzle” nature of this beautiful artist’s book.
Take this class if you love textures, layers, and everything mixed media. This one is just FUN!
Note: This is a repeat of the class held in August 2011 (by popular demand!).

Here’s the scoop for this class:
• Be ready for a week jam-packed with creativity! (Update: If you do all the assignments each day, I estimate it will take about 1 – 1.5 hours each day… but more if you want to settle into it!)
• Each day you’ll wake up to a morning peptalk email with links to your daily schedule, warm-up PDF worksheet, drawing assignment, demonstration videos and painting assignment. (Five days; five warm-up worksheets; five drawing assignments; nine videos; five painting assignments.)
• A password-protected blog dedicated to each class will serve as our clubhouse and will be our meeting place for all of the above, as well as special goodie bag materials and other surprises (including bug spray).
• A flickr group will be created for each session so you can (optionally) share your worksheets, drawings, paintings, and enjoy and learn from the artwork of others. (However, if you are shy about posting your art, I am always available to look at your work via email.)
• Prizes? Of course!!
• A perfect activity to do with your kids, either this week or over the holiday break.
• The class materials will be up and available for download until “forever,” if for some reason you need to miss a day (or a couple of weeks).

Thank you for your interest!
This is a fun class and you end up with such a unique book. I’ve been wanting to make another one because I liked the first one so much.
Wow that is a lot for $35! And I love that my daughter could take the class with me, although she might need to wait until her winter break starts. I need to see if I can get my act together so that I clear my schedule for that week. Thanks for telling specifically how much time each class will take.

So you are saying the class will be available to me Forever!? Like I can pull it up any time -say next year and be re-inspired to make another book? That is great and makes it all worth the $$, sometimes when I first take a class I’m busy and seem to come back to it later with a more ‘open and free’ mind to delve deeper into the projects. What is the deadline for signing up for this class?
Yes to all of the above!
Registration will be open for this session until the last day, December 2.
Thanks for your interest!
As I enrolled, but couldn’t participate due to insane workload in August, I consider taking it again, I know, that my old classroom is still open, but I always enjoy the group energy on Flickr and the blog so much, that it is definitly worth the $35 – thanks for repeating that class again! Was actually my favorite of the three – well, at least in theory ….
krapprotdunkel, you don’t need to pay twice! I’ll sign you up and you can go through the live class this time if you wish!
If you are thinking about taking this class…. DO IT! You will love what you make. YOU WILL LOVE IT! Awesome online class.
Carla,
Trying like crazy to sign up for the Junk Mail Book class but I can’t get it to work! Flubbernuts!!! Help!!!
Hi Meg! It might have just been a little computer glitch with Paypal when you tried… try again, and if it doesn’t work let me know! And you can always send a check while I try to figure out the problem!! Thanks for your interest!
Thanks, Carla … it worked this time!
Hi, I’m Wilma from Spain, I’m already signed and I can’t wait to start this class, thanks for share it.
I can’t wait to start – charcoal, gesso and some horrible pieces of junk mail are waiting to be transformed into priceless pieces of eternal art…or priceless junk of unspeakable art…..or whatsoever..
The really scary thing is: A very gifted student of mine – hello Patrick!! – has joined the class too! Wow…competition!!!
Let’s enjoy,
eva
Great! I look forward to starting, too!!
