February Class Schedule

Feb 4th Valentines Workshop - I've put together kits with 6 large heart shaped cardstock cards and envelopes, Valentine images, cardstock and scrapbook papers, and embellishments. We'll have a blast making cards to trade with each other on the 11th.If the kids don't finish their cards in class they will need to take them to finish and return the following Thursday. I cannot stress enough the importance of bringing back completed Valentines to trade. I would hate for any of the girls to feel left out.




Feb 11th Fabric Cuffs - Crafty and Fashionable! Make a cuff that shows your personality. Flipping through the crafts and sewing magazines these cuffs are all the rage. So I pulled out the one I made last year and have received so many compliments on, and we'll use it as a hands-on example as well as several magazines for inspiration and ideas. I'll have some base cuffs already made up, nice and sturdy, and kids can embellish to their hearts content. Then wear them and bask in the praise.





MAKEUP CLASS

FRIDAY Feb 12th Monotone Texture Painting - Students will choose one color and will use various tools to create texture with tempera paint on a large sheet of paper. We'll then recreate a reference photo using shapes cut from the paper. The object is to rely only on the textures instead of falling back on outlines and colors.


Feb 18th Extended Drawing - Use an image in the center of your paper and work out from there. Students will both extend elements that are already present in the picture and use their imaginations to picture what else might be present in the scene. We'll try not to stress too much about perspective and let our minds roam with this one.





The Colorful Coiled Flowers Class has been moved to March because of order problems. Instead we'll be embellishing a 7Gypsies accordian book and purse. Please see your parent email for details.



Feb 25th Colorful Coiled Flowers - Flowers don't last forever. Unless they're made of colorful wire! This one's just for hands on fun. Using several different colors of wire we'll make a bouquet of flowers, complete with leaves, worthy of gracing the dining room table. Studies show handcrafts boost hand-eye coordination and, trust me, some of these swirls take coordination!





Canceled/Missed class Policy effective February 1st, 2010

If class is canceled due to some unforeseen incident such as weather or illness (obviously surgery doesn't hold me down hehe) it will be made up on the Friday afternoon immediately following the missed class.

If a student must miss a class for personal reasons please let me know and I will put together a kit for the class missed unless the skill/craft covered makes it impossible to do so.
