TUTORS AND CLASSES

We have some great tutors for you, including Leandra Franich, of Paperartsy, Rachel (Emilie) Jackson (of Stampington mags and Craft Stamper fame), Sue Roddis and some of our own very talented members, most of whom teach elsewhere and have been published in their own right.  There are now ELEVEN classes for you to chose from - your biggest problem will be choosing which five NOT to take!  It's going to be a great weekend!   

We're also planning a Taster session, with Make and Takes, for those of you who can get here on the Friday evening, so watch this space for more details .....

PLEASE NOTE:  WE WILL NOT TAKE BOOKINGS FOR CLASSES UNTIL WE ANNOUNCE THAT WE ARE READY TO DO SO AND CATH WILL NOT BE ORGANISING THIS.  WE'LL FINALISE THE TIMETABLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND INFORM YOU OF WHEN AND TO WHERE TO SEND YOUR CHOICES. 

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT YOU WILL GET ALL YOUR FIRST CHOICES - THERE JUST WON'T BE ENOUGH SPACE OR TIME.  

CLASS TITLE	DETAILS	TUTOR
SQUIGGLY INK ZUTTER BOUND BOOK	A handy notebook with a stunning stamped, transparent cover using PaperArtsy's new Squiggly ink Stamps. You will use Alcohol inks, do a bit of découpage and learn how to use the Zutter Bind-it-all. You'll also get the chance to play with some Grungeboard and ribbons!	LEANDRA FRANICH
DIPPY CHARM BRACELET	Learn how to make Leandra's fondue style charms from UTEE, metal leaf, wire and mica powders (eg PearlEx, Perfect Pearls) with the Ranger melt pot. Each charm is different and you will find lots you can do with these (eg as book binding embellishments they are gorgeous!). Please bring wire working tools (flat & round nosed pliers, wire cutters) if you can.	LEANDRA FRANICH
BARGELLO STYLE BOX AND CARD	Make your own fancy Gift Box with any spare/scrap paper or card - it can hold a mini book, a card, a piece of jewellery or whatever you have in mind as your gift.  Cover with a unique Bargello style design made from your own stamped sheets of card, coloured first with Alcohol inks.   Make a card to match - this technique is absolutely stunning when you see the results in real life and it's also fun to do!	NEET HICKSON
PRETTY ENVELOPE WRAP BOOK	Learn to make a charming and simply-constructed envelope-wrap book, decorated with ink patterning techniques and rubber stamping. This booklet features a bundle of pages sewn into one of its twin spines, with the potential for more decoration and embellishment on the pages. A cute little book to slip inside someone's birthday card for recording holiday memories or filling with birthday wishes! This one uses Adirondack dye inks.	RACHEL EMILIE JACKSON
MATERIAL MATTERS	Freyja will guide you in an exploration of stamping on fabrics, using different types of fabric, different mediums - paints and inks - and generally learning  all the ins and outs of this much neglected facet of stamping.  A chance to experiment a little here......	FREYJA LEE
FANTAGSTIC  FILE	Yet another way to use your Scrapbook papers, Jo will show you how to make a stunning and unique concertina type fan file for ATCs or tags, made with cleverly folded scrapbook papers, using Ranger Distress inks, various stamps and those super duper sparkly Glimmer Mists on the covers.	JO PRITCHARD
POLYMER CAFÉ	An exploration of polymer clay with Lynne. Make some stunning pieces of stamped clay jewellery and a practical bookmark, using clay and Micaceous Iron Oxide.	LYNNE WILKINSON
ALTERED CD CLOCK (to be confirmed)	Not yet finalised, but this should be a fun project, making your own unique, fully working clock from one of those junk (or dead) CDs you have hanging around - possibly on canvas - perfect gift but also great to keep.  I'll confirm details as soon as I know myself ......	CATH WILSON
COASTER BOOK (to be confirmed)	This is a one off class - not repeated at all.  Using standard square coasters, create a beautiful work of art in black and white, using a variety of stamps, featuring Paperartsy, Time to Stamp and Simple Expressions images.  Finish off by binding with the Zutter Bind it all.	CATH WILSON
CALENDAR GIRLS	A simple but gorgeous coaster calendar, decorated with inks and 'girlie' rubber stamps.  This one's as useful as it is decorative and would make a great gift.  Three different styles to choose from - Sassy, Humorous or Glamour Girls - all decorated with Versamagic inks.	GILL YIN
EXPLOSION BOX	The box you'll be making with Sue will be a smaller, simpler version of the one illustrated here, but will be made using the same (Squiggly Ink) stamps and inks (Adirondack Colorwashes) and will be very similar.	SUE RODDIS

Class details will be added as they are confirmed, but they're looking good and will include stamping on fabric, polymer clay, Fan file for tags or ATCs, Melt Pot work, a Calendar, coil bound book and more .....

There will also be ATC trading, so be ready if you like to trade - we'll let you know how many will be attending, closer to the actual date, so you'll know how many you need to make if you want to trade with everyone.  Please note that THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO OBLIGATION TO TRADE - IT'S YOUR CHOICE and completely voluntary!  But don't feel obliged to trade with everyone - you could always trade a limited number of people!
