STAR Program!

Make sure you check out all the awesome STAR summer programs happening at Jefferson this year. Yours truly will be making some awesome art with great students during weeks 3 &4. I'm teaching Book Arts which includes obviously: books! But don't let that name fool you, there is much more under the category of book arts like, printmaking, stamping, sun prints, paste paper, assemblage, altered books, the list goes on!!! It is amazing the endless possibilities and the creativity you can use in book arts!

I will also be teaching Arts & Cultures. Ever wanted to learn how to paint with sand?? Well, you can now!!! How about the ancient art of Japanese tie dying called Shibori?? Stained glass...Want to do a little drip painting a la Jackson Pollock?? Everyone thinks his work is totally cool!!! He's part of our "American Culture"!  This class will span the globe learning about all the different types of art there is in the world! Amazing!!!
