The bonus? It enriches the experience a hundredfold. Doing it requires only a blank journal and a few art supplies tucked away in a small case – nothing fancy! And you don’t have to be an “artist”.

Her experience is that journaling helps us step outside of ourselves and makes us more attuned to what’s going on all around us. We notice the smell of a dusty road, how good a coke can taste far away from home, and the expressions on people’s faces while waiting for a train. These small details are the soul of the journey and become precious memories when recorded. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFran shares with you what she’s learned from years of creating her own travel journals. For example, she talks about which tools work best, what overlooked items are fun to collect, and how to include lettering. She also shares myriad techniques. Particularly helpful are her templates for laying out a page. Practice everything as you “mock up” a journal in a simple handsewn book that Fran has made for you.

They loved both the elegance of the book and how easy it was to make, and asked if she could create something similar but make it specifically for photographs. (The added thickness of mounted photos typically makes a book splay open.) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKristen’s response was this variation on her popular stab binding classes. Although photographs were the original inspiration, it turns out that the new structure also works well for layered collage and other inclusions. Kristen streamlined the whole process by developing an easier way to add spacers, which allows for the extra bulk between pages. In addition, the pages themselves are made of heavier paper that doesn’t “flop” when the book is opened. Choose either ribbon or waxed linen thread for the binding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a beautiful album that accommodates added materials, whether photographs, layers of collage, or other keepsakes. Think of the possibilities. A unique baby book? Or perhaps a guest book for a special event? Take a polaroid photo of each arriving guest, paste it in the album, and let the guest write a personal greeting.

The hard cover protects it when it’s thrown into a jumbled bag, the soft spine is both flexible and sturdy, and an easy chain stitch binding holds up well to use.

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!

Teresa was inspired to create it by outsider art, that is, art produced by people who have little or no formal training and who work outside mainstream artistic trends. Collage has historically been practiced by women, people of color, and those without access to a formal education – in other words, outsiders – so it seems particularly fitting to offer this class during Februllage.

Collage is a perfect medium to begin with since it’s such an accessible practice. All that’s needed are bits of paper or fabric, glue, and scissors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTeresa starts the class by explaining the fundamental principles of abstract art as applied to collage: first, the use of different approaches to composition, including balance, rhythm, and tension; second, how various cutting, tearing, and adhering techniques can create different visual effects; and third, the power of color, shape, and texture to convey mood and create visual interest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn addition to what you learn while working on your own collages in class, you’ll also find out how to build a rich collection of source material and how to develop a personal “vocabulary” for making compelling abstract compositions.

The underlying theme is always history. For example, her River City Mural in Tuscaloosa draws upon images and illustrations from vintage books on Alabama to show how the relationship between the Black Warrior River and various groups of inhabitants has changed over time.

To have viewers think about the river in new ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTeresa is active in the international collage community, and was awarded the Doug \u0026amp; Laurie Kanyer Art Collection Purchase Award in 2019 at Kolaj Fest New Orleans. The Kanyers established their collection to support artists and advance a deeper understanding of collage as art. Their criteria for choosing the winners were the overall practice of the artist, the historical value\/critical context of the work, and how the work demonstrates a use of the medium. The Kanyers also considered the artist’s broader role in collage to identify artists whose impact goes beyond their immediate community. One of Teresa’s small works is now part of the Kayner’s permanent collection at the Yakima Valley Museum in Oregon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTo sum up, Teresa’s works, which exist at the intersection of history and art, cause viewers to see collage with fresh eyes.

She says she’s not a gardener, but she is passionate about making what she calls forever flowers. Her favorite projects, for example, have been capturing in crepe paper a bride’s wedding bouquet as a permanent reminder of that special day. Finnuala finds the challenge of recreating a specific bloom to be the perfect way of decompressing from her day job. Not surprisingly, her travel photos are heavily weighted toward close-ups of the local flora, and her hikes yield pictures from multiple angles of each wildflower she encounters. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEuropean crepe paper is her medium of choice for creating her forever flowers. The crepe is durable, inherently malleable, readily accepts coloring agents, and comes in all the hues of a rainbow. She finds the tactile process of working with it to be meditative. “Every minute I’m making paper flowers, I’m happy”. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSharing this wonderful art of crepe paper flowers with others is the entire reason why Finnuala started teaching. She believes everyone, no matter their skill level, can learn how to paint, shape, and sculpt crepe paper to create realistic flowers. She meticulously studies a flower and experiments in order to create techniques that bring the flowers to life. For example, she literally tried 18 different paints in various combos - acrylics and watercolors - to match the color of a particular flower. She also made sure the color could easily be duplicated by students. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer standing invitation to everyone? “Come make forever flowers with me!”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee her Instagram \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/flowersbyfinnuala\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"@flowersbyfinnuala\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e@flowersbyfinnuala\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Two Hands Paperie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595748262142,"sku":"CLASS_COLUM_0411","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/9831\/4948\/files\/Tessier_S26_columbine_03.png?v=1765499761"},{"product_id":"victorian-puzzle-purse-letter-writing-night-apr-2","title":"Victorian Puzzle Purse - Letter Writing Night In-Store Event Apr 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVictorian Puzzle Purse - Letter Writing Night In-Store Event\u003cbr\u003eThursday, April 2, 6-8pm\u003cbr\u003eHosted By:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e THP Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 participants.
