What Lies Beneath with Kari, $92, includes lunch
We’ve heard “you can’t judge a book by its cover” and here’s proof!  The white hardbound cover conceals a fantastic world inside.  Pages explode with vitality and color.  As we relish the printing, stenciling and painting of these fantastic pages, we will explore shade, tint and hue, and color transitions.  Every artist will leave with a brilliantly paged hardbound journal.

Does your handwriting keeps you from art journaling? No more worries!  No drawing or calligraphy skill required!  This stress-free class is the perfect intro to creating your own unique and beautiful fonts and writing style to incorporate into your art pieces!  You will learn how to make your own tools to ease this process!

Tempted by Tape with Kari, $92, includes lunch
Do you just love all the wonderful new artist tapes out there?  Do you have a tape problem?  Washi tapes, packing tapes, duct tapes, flue tapes…  Spend the day in fabulously fun mixed media play creating a journal just to show off your favorite tapes!  Everyone will go home with a completely bound journal that is richly patterned, lavishly colored and showcasing artist tapes!  We will explore making our own patterned tapes, altering tapes and knowing which tapes to use when!

  1. I wish I had known about this. I am so bummed. I just went on Jen's blog to check on how art& soul went and I found your workshop listed. How did it go? Do you think she will ever come back? I am from Lapeer. Had I known about this, I would have been there. I feel so bummed to have had a class this close and missed out.
