Workshops October 3-5th Frenzy Stamper Scottsdale, AZ

I'm very excited and looking forward to teaching at one of my favorite locations!!

I have five workshops lined up for Frenzy Stamper in Scottsdale, AZ October 3-5th:

The Storyteller 5 hours What is a journal but a teller of a story-your story? In this workshop, we will make a unique artist’s book. Page by page, we will start to “Tell” your story weaving layers of acrylic mediums, collage ephemera and the written word. Accompanying this workshop will be a handout full of new ideas and exercises guaranteed to bring any story teller out and onto the page.

Supply list- Students should, please, bring to class: Scissors, bone folder, cork backed metal ruler, 3 1" bristle brushes to paint and glue with, container to hold water, small selection of collage ephemera to use, roll of waxed paper, roll of paper towels. Questions? Please email Kelly at Egorey99 (at) sbcglobal (dot) net


Revelations: Revealing the layers-2 hours In this mixed media workshop, we will dig deep unearthing layers of paint and paper. Learn a plethora of new techniques while creating a unique artist's book! We will explore new ideas utilizing paint, paper and glue. If you like the "layered" look and learning new techniques, you will LOVE this workshop!

SUPPLY LIST- small selection of collage ephemera, Scissors,bone folder, 2 or 3 bristle brushes to paint and glue (no foam please), cork backed metal ruler, black permanent ink pad (likeVersafine or Memories *if you have one*), container to hold water in, roll of paper towels, and a roll of waxed paper. The instructor will be supplying an array of professional artist acrylics and mediums, rubberstamps, collage ephemera, and all necessary materials.

What Next 5 hours You’ve made your journal, your altered book, your artist’s book. In fact, you’ve probably made more the one. You’ve got the gusto, now get the inspiration, the ideas and new techniques you’ve been craving for. In this workshop, we will spend the class working hands on IN the pages of your book. You will learn new mixed media techniques (yup, we’ll cover it all-all NEW ideas!!) that will have you reaching for your paint brush or glue stick on a regular basis! You will need a journal or several sheets of heavy cardstock for this class!

Supply list- Students should, please, bring to class: Journal (see description), Scissors, bone folder, cork backed metal ruler, 3 1" bristle brushes to paint and glue with, container to hold water, small selection of collage ephemera to use, roll of waxed paper, roll of paper towels. Questions? Please email Kelly


Funky Chunky Book:In this fast paced, but very fun 2 hour class, we will assemble the perfect 'catch all' book. We will create an easy to sew "funky chunky" book, a fun sized 'chunky' book filled with 'funky' pages. Use this unique artists' book as journal, scrapbook, photo album, trade holder, doodle book, and more. The size of the book holds a LOT of pages so this is a little book will be by your side for a while. I love the odd little size of it-it's perfect to carry in your bag with you around town. It's also perfect as the ultimate 'inspiration' book someplace where you can glue in, sew in, attach and hold all of your found ephemera treasures. This isn't the Chunky Book you know...it's the Funky Chunky Book...

Supplies needed: Scissors, bone folder, cork backed metal ruler, 3 1" bristle brushes to paint and glue with, container to hold water in, roll of paper towels, and a roll of waxed paper. The instructor will be supplying an array of professional artist acrylics and mediums, rubber stamps, collage ephemera, and all necessary materials to create the journal.


Swatches: Little Paper Books 5 hours I'm absolutely addicted to these
little books. I guarantee after this class, you'll be too! After you pick from a hodge podge of "found" papers, you will assemble a variety of little paper books. We will quickly assemble a small pile of "swatches" learning a quick and easy bookbinding stitch as you go. We will then start to work quickly on the pages (but not too quickly) working in multiple books at one time, listening to our muses (no criticism only soft whispers of "go for it..."), we will collage, stamp, paint, doodle, stitch and play on the pages. You will learn how to work fast. You will learn a variety of new mixed media collage techniques. You will walk out with a small pile of books that you can toss in a bag and bring with you anywhere and everywhere.

Two pages I worked on last night-
I have been saving this owl image for what seems like forever! The arrows were made using the new punch I bought this Saturday at The Stamp Addict. The "E's" are from Coffee Break Design. White pen is Sakura Gelly Roll Souffle. Black pen were various multiliner copic markers.
Not finished with this page yet...more to come.
Been very busy gearing up for my mixed media art classes at Ink About it in Westford, MA and
The Stamp Act Store in Marshfield, MA. I am REALLY looking forward to teaching in MA-I always enjoy it!! So, I've spent the last few days cutting board, canvas and just getting everything ready!

I'm going to be closing my Etsy shop down in the next couple of days so if you want something and want it mailed out before I trek back East, get it now! :) Journals make awesome Holiday gifts ;) Thanks!!!
