She will share easy techniques that you can continue at home. Some materials provided; a supply list will be sent to you.

Playful Letters    


As a departure from the more formal calligraphy styles, try this playful approach to letterforms! Explore the use of markers, paints, colored pencils, doodling, and more. Perhaps you have a favorite quote or word or two you'd like to gift to someone. Or, a special greeting card. You will learn fun and funky styles using block letters, stencils, stamps, along with adding a new twist to your personal handwriting. Playful letters can add to your journals, scrapbooks and more.  Some supplies provided. No experience necessary. Tues, Dec 5, 1 - 4:30$55/$7 materials

Paired Needle Binding Jackie Hefty

It just sounds difficult, not really so hard, but it gives you bragging rights! You will be sure to impress your friends or family with your bookmaking skills when you show them this creation. An exposed stitching design on the spine of the book resembles a herringbone pattern.  This book is designed to lie flat when open which allows for ease in drawing or writing. Makes a great gift! Previous book making is recommended, but not required. Minimal supplies are necessary to continue making beautiful books at home. Class sizes are limited.    Sat. Dec. 16,   1 - 4:30    $65/$5 materials (Assorted papers will be available for purchase if you need for your signatures, see supply list for more information.)
