Immerse yourself in a vibrant artistic journey guided by Joanne Sharpe, featuring instructional art, creative sessions, and inspiring samples. Discover the joy of crafting a large, interactive dimensional art book adorned with illustrated embellishments and handmade art bits. Engage with themed prompts exploring mixed media bookmaking, watercolor painting, pen and ink lettering, and the art of doodling and collage. Create a fabric art bag to preserve your book, decorated with either “slow hand stitching” or machine sewing. Most supplies, including fabrics, textiles, and sewing machines, will be provided.
