Class Registration Opens August 1st
Classes for October 2013 will feature a steady progression of techniques to help beginners, even those who have NEVER done scene building before, to gradually and steadily increase their skill level over the course of the retreat. Specific cards for each class are not shown because we are in the process of updating our classes and including some of the NEW 2013 images from Stampscapes.

 

ALL classes must be pre-registered for and prepaid. This enables us to prepare the correct number of class kits, and we typically do not prepare extras. We reserve the right to cancel any class that has less than 4 registrants, and to add additional choices for the techniques that appear to be the most popular. In the event a class is cancelled, you will be notified and your fees will be refunded.

Order and prepay for your supplies and get a 10% discount. The order form will be available when the class schedule is published.

 

Scene Building / Masking Tutorial
Complimentary to retreat attendees.
You must register to allow me to know how many material packets to prepare.
This is a complimentary session for retreat attendees who have not done scene building (masking) before. It is designed to give those not proficient in scene building and masking a good jump start to the retreat. This will help you understand the various materials used to mask, how to mask, how to use the tonal applicator, some basic error correction tips including the use of the stamp positioner, and using Copic pens to repair images. Tips pertaining to what inks and papers to use for each technique will be included. Bring detail scissors, tonal applicator stamp and assorted sizes acrylic blocks. REGISTRATION REQUIRED so that I know how many class packs to prepare.


White Pencil Vintage Scenes

This is a great class for beginners, but also fun for experienced stampers. Details to be announced August 1st.

Watercolor Pencils
Use watercolor pencils and waterbrushes to make beautiful scenes. Must have at least a set of 24 pencils, but a 48 or 60 pencil set will give you much better results.

Airbrushed Backgrounds
Participants must bring their own sketch style Copic markers. Details to be announced August 1st.

Quickscapes
Fun cards that require little or no masking.

Fast & Fun Beginner Stippling With Templates
These are very fast and fun cards for any skill level. Participants must have their own stipple brushes. We recommend size 4 or 6, but sizes 2, 4, 6 or 8 will work.

Icy Cold Winterscapes
I rarely do a winter scene without a heavy dose of glitter. Glitter helps to bring an icy, cold, crisp accent your snowy, winter scenes.

Putting It All Together
This takes beginners to the next step of scenic stamping.

Blended Backgrounds

Out In The Country
