JUNE 2023
CLASSES

We always have a grrrrrreat time on Preview Day.  I must say, that with all the graduation ceremonies and other hooplah going on, we were quiet.  That means that there was not much waiting for the Make 'n Take.  Sooooo.... I am making an offer you may not be able to resist.  If you were unable to come by on Saturday, drop by the store on Tuesday or Wednesday and I'll let you make one!  This is a one time offer and not likely to be repeated.  I just hate to see the supplies go to waste and would love for you to make one!  


I love this stamp set called "Feelin' Fizzy" by Catherine Pooler.  It's from one of her newest releases.  We sold out, but I will be ordering more because the set is great for many occasions, not just Father's Day.  And here are 2 other samples Cherri made for us.....


Dina Wakley is coming to teach in July.  Although the classes are full at this time, please feel free to register in order to get your name on the wait list for cancellations.  I am also trying to add 4 more seats so registering may help you get in ahead of a cancellation.  You can find more information about the classes HERE.  To register for the wait list, please see the My Heart's Fancy website HERE.


Lisa has a class schedule filled with beautiful cards, a gel print class making fancy tapes, and she's the teacher for Art Journal Saturday in June.  Here's the schedule!

Mixed Media Cards - $35
Thursday, June 1st
10:30 am OR 6 pm


Tim Holtz released a new group of stamp sets last month and Lisa has created these 4 cards using them for focal images.  But the coolest part of this class is creating the really cool backgrounds by making 1 mixed media "master page" to cut up for the background of each card.  This will be a fun and classy card class!

Experiments in Gel Printing - $35
Thursday, June 8
10:30 am OR 6 pm 


Lisa did not have the samples ready to show for this class, but I can tell you that she is going to teach you how to create your own washi type strips that can be used for card making or collage projects both in and out of your art journal.  Don't miss this class.  It will truly be a fantastic experience and you don't need any experience using the gel plate.

Preview Day
Saturday, June 17
10 am to 4 pm
Come and Go
FREE


If you've been a part of our art family for a while, you know this is a special event every month.  We offer a FREE Make 'n Take and Lisa shows her classes for the next month.  We usually have brand new art supplies for you to see and buy or a special sale.  Grab a friend and share all the fun!

"Bee Happy" Pockets - $35
Thursday, June 22
10:30 am OR 6 pm


I promise you'll find a plethora of uses for these very cute pocket cards.  Not a typical card, these pockets cards can hold encouragement cards, tea bags, gift cards and more.  They would make great party favors as well!  

Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, June 24
9 am OR 1:30 pm


Lisa created this "dreamy" spread and I can't wait to make my very own version.  She has this ethereal style that always takes my breath away.  While she has used soft tones and muting techniques, you can make yours bold or quiet.  She'll guide us through her process and we'll have fun making our own versions.  You know that your $20 class fee is a bargain because you get so much bang for your buck!

Embossing Folder Fun - $35
Thursday, June 29
10:30 am OR 6 pm


New embossing folders from Altenew sparked this class.  You'll have fun creating these very different cards.  New dies from Hero, Catherine Pooler, and Impression Obsession complete the cards with style.  You will make all 5 cards in this class and love how easy they are to make.

Dina Wakley Returns

 
DINA WAKLEY
WORKSHOPS

JULY 7 & 8, 2023

I am so excited to announce that Dina Wakley is returning to teach a wonderful weekend workshop on July 7 & 8.  It has been such a long time since we have had a guest artist and I am thrilled that she is our first since the world went haywire!

Most of you know Dina.  She is a mixed-media artist and teacher.  She travels all over the world teaching her unique style of art and art journaling.  As a Ranger signature artist, she has a variety of products that were created to express her unique style.  I am pleased to say she was teaching here long before she joined Ranger as a Signature Designer.

Here are the classes being offered!  

Please note that the photos shown for each class are only representations of the work you will do and your work will not match these photos.

DINA'S WORKSHOPS



Dina-Style Art Journaling:
The Basics
$80
Friday, July 8 
10 am to 1 pm



Curious about art journaling?  Not sure where to start?  Join Dina and she will give you a "Dina Style" introduction to keeping a journal with art and words.  No drawing required just a willingness to play and express!

Seeing Clearly 
$80
Friday, July 7
2:30 pm to 5:30 pm

 


Let's make art that is chock full of interesting "clear" elements - tranparencies!  Dina will show you some of her favorite ways to create with transparencies.

Ditch the Brayer
$80
July 8
10 am to 1 pm


Gel Printing has been around a number of years, but this isn't your standard printing class.  Here we use the gel plate in ways that result in very unique prints and effects.  Think grunge, graffiti, raw.  We will use many mediums (Gloss sprays, Scribble Sticks, etc) on the plate, not just acylic paint.  You'll be amazed at your results.



Yes, You Can Draw Faces
$80
Friday (Saturday) July 7 (8)
2:30 pm to 5:30 pm


Dina says she is not someone who has an innate drawing gift.  All of her drawing comes out of technique and practice.  This class is a great start to your drawing life.  We'll go over proportion and features.  You'll also learn how to mix skin tone colors and paint faces with acrylic.  You don't need talent, just a desire to learn.  This class is suited for those with little to no prior drawing experience but those who have taken this class or have experience may find it is a great refresher course.
