During the workshop, we first practice the techniques on a mixed medium cardboard. I demonstrate a  technique at a time and then the participants practice it on their cardboard.  

• Apply different papers in collage using an acrylic medium;

• Use stencils 

• Use stamps and dies

• Create backgrounds using spray paints (weather permitting we do this outside)

• Apply the acrylic paint with a brush and with various objects (plastic cards, spatulas, sponges, block of wood, corks, etc.)

• Experiment with acrylic inks with water spray for a watercolor effect.

• Use Posca acrylic markers to add detail 

• Embellish their creations with tights, washi tape and sequins.

• Try alcohol inks on synthetic paper.

When the demonstrations are complete, participants can use all the techniques learned to create their own personalized notebook or box. Other projects are also available depending on the material (light bottle, rock painting, ceramic, plant pot, bird feeder, wood panel, etc.)  I supervise the use of techniques, recall certain notions, draw their attention to certain details that I notice and I suggest alternatives if there is a blockage.  

Participants must wear clothes that they are not afraid of staining or an apron.
