I am so-o-o excited!
Art and Soul Retreat is coming to Virginia Beach, VA in March and my classes are almost full. Nurturing your creative soul is a must. For over ten years
Art and Soul Retreats have been dedicated to just that. It is a mixed media extravaganza, filled with classes, the yummiest supplies, ephemera and workshops from well known artists as well as newly discovered ones. Everyone has a passion for what they do and is ready to share their knowledge and ideas. If you love mixed media, art, jewelry and creativity, you'll be in the right place when you experience Art and Soul. Check out their class offerings and I hope to see you in Virginia in March.
The retreat offers women
(well 99% women) a chance to explore new mediums, perfect exciting new techniques and discover their own individual style. The list of class offerings at
Art & Soul in Virginia Beach is amazing ...
jewelry-journals-dolls-fibers-metal-clay-resin-enamel-painting and more.
I am teaching three classes at
Art & Soul and taking several classes from other artists... I can hardly wait
(and I'm teaching 3 more classes in Portland, OR in September). As a teacher and a student I always come away from these events filled with energy and a new spark of creativity.
Spirit Dolls - Zentangle® on Gourds - Sunday, March 4
You all know how much I love Zentangle, I also enjoy designing on gourds. These handy nature grown vessels make a fabulous surface for Zentangle - the pen just glides across the surface. In this class we take the magic of a
"Spirit Doll" and enhance the meaning and beauty by adding Zentangle patterns. Don't worry, I am bringing clean gourds and supplies for the class, so you don't need to worry about finding your own gourd.

Zentangle Art Journals - Monday, March 5 I hope you have a journal or a sketchbook of some kind to work in occasionally ... better yet daily. Even if it is only a small addition of watercolor, tangle patterns, paint, images or sketches - it can add up to something valuable. With Zentangle my journaling has evolved into a more personal experience. Learning new tangles allows me to freely and without too much thinking add beautiful flourishes and embellishments to my journals. I don't have to search for the perfect stamp or image... I am more comfortable with what I can draw on the page. That is the idea behind this journal workshop. This class also covers how to make your journal more visually engaging by adding windows, foldouts and interactive pages.

Silk Scarves - Dyeing with Sharpie Markers - Sunday eve, March 4 The Silk Scarf workshop is so much fun, I am always amazed at the beautiful colors that can be achieved from the blend of seemingly normal markers and alcohol. This class explores other techniques as well... shibori, stamps, tie-dye and textures. You'll go home with 2 finished silk scarves. All you need to do is sign up for the class
(I'll bring the scarves and the supplies).Art and Soul - Virginia Beach, VA - class #VA208
