Celebrate Your Creativity Mini Retreat in Florence

Join us on Saturday, April 11 at the Kennedy Douglas Center for the Arts in Florence to celebrate 50 years of arts! And what better way to celebrate than by creating!

This retreat is actually two workshops, one in the morning and one if the afternoon. Do one or both, whatever your schedule allows!

JUNK JOURNAL MAKING: 9:00am - 12:00pm

We'll be taking old papers, book pages, painted and stained pages and putting them together to make a journal. I'll show you a simple way to sew the books into the covers, and then we'll have time to start filling it. You are welcome to bring any papers you have been "stockpiling" (we don't use the word "hoarding"). This is a fun way of creating a journal that has character built into every page!

GEL PLATE PRINTING & OPEN ART JOURNALING: 1:00pm - 4:00pm

If you've been wanting to try gel plate printing but are not sure how to start, this is the perfect class. And if you are already familiar and just need time and space to make your prints, then this is also the perfect class! I'll have gel plates, bryers, stencils, stamps and loads of paper to help you scratch that creative itch!

And if you just want to bring an art journal and fill some pages with all the goodies I'll have then you can do that, too!

You can register for just the morning or just the afternoon, or the whole day. There will be an hour in between sessions to grab lunch. {Lunch is not provided, but we can place an order with a close by restaurant and have it delivered for those who want to.}

Bring a friend and save on tickets! If you buy two tickets for the whole day, you save $20!
