She has written two e-books on how anyone can use art-making techniques to enjoy life more. Her mission? To help people have more fun and feel more creative. When Cynthia's not in her Denver office, she's riding her bicycle, practicing yoga, frolicking in the park, whipping up a feast in the kitchen, snuggled up reading a book, or popping over to Europe. Through her company Original Impulse, Cynthia leads creativity workshops in Europe like the one she teaches at Two Hands Paperie. She finds that keeping an illustrated journal makes her happy.

Join Lexis Krieg for a class devoted completely to color without regard to medium. Lexis, a local artist and graphic designer who’s known for her colorful designs, thinks the best way to understand color is through observation and experimentation.

Focus on the scraps you love, then sort through and organize them. They’re the raw material for tapping into your intuitive sense of color. During class, use the color wheel to analyze their characteristics – hue, shade, tint, tone, complementary, analogous, cool, warm – and where your scraps fit in. One result of all the exercises is a unique and personal color booklet for you to use in future creative projects.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToward the end of class, create a personal color “map” using your paper scraps.

Each tiny wonder – from the cleverest fox or hedgehog to a charming parade of flower-bearing young girls – is handcrafted from paper clay, wire, wood, and other tiny bits and pieces. Her sophisticated yet simple designs show the influence of both her father’s Scandinavian heritage and the intricate painted miniatures she collected when living in Switzerland. Her affinity for using small, ordinary objects comes from her mom, also a graphic designer and artist. She taught Jone that you can make just about anything you want instead of going to a store to buy it.

He sports a festive at-home outfit instead of Santa’s iconic red suit. About four inches tall, he’s made from small wooden forms and painted with Jone’s signature patterns. They’re surprisingly straightforward. All that’s required are straight lines, curves, some dots, and maybe a few squiggles here and there. Jone shows how to add depth and interest by creating tone on tone patterns and layering colors on top of each other. Follow the patterns in the little booklet she’s drawn, or enjoy making up your own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a special touch, Santa holds a list that’s made out of a page from a vintage French book.

Each tiny wonder – from the cleverest fox or hedgehog to a charming parade of flower-bearing young girls – is handcrafted from paper clay, wire, wood, and other tiny bits and pieces. Her sophisticated yet simple designs show the influence of both her father’s Scandinavian heritage and the intricate painted miniatures she collected when living in Switzerland. Her affinity for using small, ordinary objects comes from her mom, also a graphic designer and artist. She taught Jone that you can make just about anything you want instead of going to a store to buy it. Jone’s creative life started on the floor of her father’s studio, where she sat as a child surrounded by brushes, paints, and a treasure of paper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHer passion for design eventually led to work developing store displays, award-winning lines of decorated papers, and the beloved Bryce and Madeline stickers. One day, after twenty years of licensing her artwork for other people’s products, Jone realized that she needed to get back to basics and simplify. In that moment, her tiny little world was born. Now she spends her time teaching, drawing, painting, and making huge messes on every available flat surface.

In truth, there’s nothing ordinary about what she creates. What is ordinary is what she uses: recycled and reclaimed objects, construction leftovers, discarded magazines, candle stubs, coffee grounds, natural materials, and even old paper clips. She loves to explore different media and will attempt to make art out of nearly anything. You can often find her in the Art Parts Creative Reuse store in Boulder, softly exclaiming to herself, “I could make art out of that!”. She enjoys the challenge of turning ordinary materials and cast-off items into objects of beauty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMuch of Janet’s work involves a spiritual element. It’s no surprise, given that the goal of her own art making is to create a beautiful, harmonious, and peaceful environment. Woven throughout her work is a deep love for geometry and pattern. She’s made a lifetime study of art history around the world and has been influenced by works as diverse as ancient manuscripts, medieval architecture, American quilts, Australian aboriginal paintings, Byzantine mosaics, and the decorative traditions of India and the Middle East. Their patterns are a starting point and don’t necessarily result in a predetermined layout. For her, art making is about beginning and then finding out where the piece leads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTrue to her personal approach to art, Janet’s classes are fundamentally about exploring and experimenting. Rather than teaching students how to make a particular piece of art, she likes to demonstrate what can be done with a set of materials and then turn students loose to play with them. It’s both astonishing and instructive to see how different the results can be. Classes with her are delightful adventures in discovering the unexpected! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVisit her website: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.artoftheordinary.net\/\" title=\"artoftheordinary.net\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eartoftheordinary.net\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Hands Paperie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48621280067838,"sku":"ONLINE_WORD_0913","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/9831\/4948\/files\/strickler_f26_WRD_mandala_01.png?v=1785348804"},{"product_id":"women-s-paint-club-w-boulder-colors-in-store-event-oct-8","title":"Women’s Paint Club w\/Boulder Colors In-Store Event Oct 8","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWomen's Paint Club In-Store Event\u003cbr\u003eThursday, Oct 8, 6-8pm\u003cbr\u003eHosted By:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Amanda Fan w\/ Boulder Colors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 participants.
