Inky Fingers - Mixedmedia Paper Layout Class ( with paper, stamping, masking, spraying, image transferring... and more!)
Do you want your layout to be really unique, with your own „personal touch”? You are bored with traditional, multi-paper scrpbooking projects and popular embellishments? Let me inspire you with some really cool ideas for creative, totally customized single paper layouts! You really don't need more than some ink and paper to create a spectacular background, let yourself to play with sprays, inks, masks and stamps and have great fun with designing your own embellies. The possibilities of using these supplies are truly amazing... and experimenting with them is pure fun!
During this class I will share with you my experiences in creating layouts based on my favorite ink techniques: masking, spraying, ink-dropping, multi-layered stamping and elements of doodling. I'll show you several finished projects which will inspire you to experiment with color and shape and give some tips about layout composition and page balance. I'll tell you more about creating and customizing embellishments and I will show you some possibilities of using sticky back canvas - for image transferring and building up elements of your page. During this class we will create together 2 full size, freestyle layouts based on stamps and color products from well known manufacturers.
Give your scrapbook pages, new, a bit crazy, a bit funky look ... don't be afraid to express yourself.... and get your fingers dirty with ink!
Lost in the Paperworld - Mixed-media collage on canvas class (with scrapbooking and vintage scraps, gesso, sprays, stamps, masks... and more! )
We all use paper of different kinds scrapbooking papers, old books or journals, vintage newspapers... they can be plain or patterned, with text or photos, but there's always a magic in every page. Paper is truly inspiring and things we can use it for are far beyond traditional scrapbooking layouts! Mixing different types of paper together on one project, adding photos, color medias and creating a mix-media collage is the best way to fall in love with paper and paint and this affection is deep and lasting for a life-time! For me it is amazing how the small scraps, random pieces and photos start its „new life” in an art project. Every collage is a small, separate fairy-tale, with its own parts, dramas and us actors lost in the middle of those Paperworlds. How cool is this? During this mix-media class I'd like to convince you that making collages its fun, easy... and liberating. There are no strict rules, no boundaries, just freedom of creating: all the meanings and the ideas are taken straight from the heart. Collages are also great for experimenting with new techniques, realizing even the crazy plans,mixing scrapbooking and non-traditional ideas. I'll show you my favorite techniques like masking, stamping and convince you to use medias which are not typical for scrapbooking like gesso, watercolors or multipurpose glues. I'll show you the different possibilities of using inks and Glimmer Mists not only for spraying but also traditional painting and creating shades. You'll create, step by step your own, unique collage which will reflect your taste and personality. During the class we will work both with products from top scrapbooking and mixed-media brands and flea market findings. I'll show you different projects, share my experience, give tips about collage techniques I use in my projects and try to change a bit conventional scrapbooking” thinking you will be surprised what you can do with medias and tools you probably already have in your scrapbook kit! Projects are made by the workshop participants brought to the house.

Industrial Baroque - range of classes
Paper Layout Classes based on mixedmedia and scrapbookintg techniques. Their common part is multi-layering, richness of techniques. using a wide range of mediums and loads of elements to create one-of-a kind, personalized project. Industrial Baroque is time for making your fingers dirty, creativity flowing and pushing the boundaries of your imagination.
Grunge is a style, which is, in my opinion, the essence of creative fun and freedom: you can put almost everything on your project and be happy with the effect you got. You may give as much or as little elements as you want, you may use medias and inks… Grunge is usually considered as boyish” or men” style, but I'd like to convince you that it also as the more feminine, crazy, eclectic side let's call it industrial baroque”.
During classes I will try to convince you that creating a grungy, eclectic layout is not hard at all - and the only boundaries you have are those made by your imagination! I will make you look again at your embellishments and how you possibilities of using everyday objects as a part of your composition, giving them the uniqueness, personal touch and grungy style.

Journals are best friends of creative people: they love experiments and new techniques, they are good listeners and always have time for you. You can take them wherever you go.

Together we'll make an unique, mixed media cover and the first inspirational page. I'll share with you some of my journal projects and a bunch of my favorite techniques like stamping, creating texture and dimension using lace, paper scraps and found objects including such uncommon elements as teabags.
