September Lesson Plan

Week 1
Hand-made Book
Using muslin, tissue papers and gel medium students will create a unique paper-cloth. This, combined with blank white pages and held together with a simple pamphlet stitch, will then become a hand-made book.

Week 2
Squares Collage
With an 8”x10” canvasboard as the base, students will build up squares of corrugated cardboard and scrapbooking paper into a collage. It will also be embellished with acrylic paints and oil pastels.

Week 3
Hemp Bracelet with Beads
Students will learn a simple 2-color weaving/knotting technique that can incorporate beads. There will be a selection of hemp cords and beads to choose from so that a bracelet or anklet can be made.

Week 4
Marbled Stationery
Using enamel paints students will create gorgeous marbled notecards (with envelopes) that they can use themselves but that are beautiful enough to give as gifts.
