No art knowledge is necessary. And there is no travel time. We're meeting on Zoom. Perhaps you or a friend would be interested? Spreading the word is always appreciated. (smile) Will you create with us in May?  We're meeting on  Wednesday, May 10, 17, and 24,  at  2 p.m. ADT (Atlantic Daylight Saving Time)  You can sign up for one hour or all three. Click here if you want to know more or join the fun. Join us for a creative self-care session .

Marbling a New Inspiration

layering the paint is like alchemy I took a great workshop at the NS Centre for Craft and Design with Rhonda Miller, bookmaker and marbling queen.  Although I had dabbled in marbling as a kid and young adult, I had no idea how much fun and excitement it would instil in me again after 30 years. (smile)  I did it - no air bubbles The first day creations where anything but perfect but nevertheless it just got better from there. The next day, all of us in the group, made beautiful papers (perfection wasn't my goal (smile)). I can't wait to get my hands on the materials to create more marbling papers.  How will I use them? I am not sure yet but collaging has been a part of my art practice for a long time and these new creations might just become a part of it.  The possibilities are endless.
