Join nature-loving book artist DJ Gaskin on March 7 for Random Arts' next bookbinding workshop, with a little help from Mother Nature. We'll create two books in different binding styles using handmade mulberry paper, with a rustic twist -- weaving a naturally beautiful twig into the spine stitching.
This journal-book makes a lovely hand-crafted gift for your favorite nature lover, or a nice journal for garden or hiking notes, or a simply splendid place to record your thoughts and dreams.
No experience needed, and all supplies are provided, including the twigs (unless you have a treasured twig or two of your own you'd like to use).

Friday, March 8th "Gouachie" Succulents with Miriam Hughes
This exciting new workshop will have you looking at the world from a whole new view. Using your images as references (and then putting them away so your creativity can flow), we will create unusual and microscopic views of the world using opaque gouache watercolor. This medium lends itself to more vibrant and flat colors, with unusual mixing opportunities. We will create mildly abstract images, adding pen and ink, markers and even a little acrylic paint. Watercolor or painting experience is not required, but the ability to explore and have fun as you create is! 1-3 $45.

Story Tellers with Fonda Clark Haight
Sat . April 13th & Sun. April 14th
(This workshop is filled - wait list only)
Storytellers is a mixed media workshop teaching a process…not an end result. When you draw that beautiful face, landscape, or animal…and you look at it and think something is missing….what’s missing is you! Your feelings, your truth in the moment, your experience as a human being, these are the things that help you create a style, a call to the viewer, a healing experience. This is a process about learning to be truthful. About answering the question….”what was my truth today”? The more you show up and listen, to that story that is wanting to emerge, the more you are working from your deep inner truth, the more your style will begin to emerge. We all have stories that need to be told. The world needs our stories now more than ever. I hope you will join me in allowing those stories to be told!!!
2 full days of instruction, including all supplies. $200. For more information about Fonda, click HERE.
