Pigments are added and then the wax is applied to a surface.
Metal tools and special brushes can be used before the wax cools,
or heated metal tools can be used to manipulate the wax that has cooled.

Held on Fridays from 10:30 - 1:30 $150 3 week series. Dates to be arranged once we have 6 people.

Within all of us lives a silent language that speaks the truth about our lives far more profoundly than words. That language is imagery. Bypassing the analyzing mind's need for words and explanations, imagery allows truth to come forth, as the Soul reveals itself in Technicolor. The alphabet of imagery is color, shape, line, form and texture.

This workshop will help you learn the language of imagery along with the help of your SoulCollage cards. We will meet every 2 weeks for a feast of techniques, helping you develop confidence and fluency in the language of Soul. You will learn how to delight in the playground of the Soul in the physical realm of the 5 senses, emotions and yes even thoughts!

No special art skills of any kind are required in this playful safe environment. For those interested in the Life Story project on piano rolls, sign up for this workshop. We will begin once we've a group of 6 people. Email to register suzie@suziewolfer.com 503-762-7612

Do you love to shop almost as much as you love to knit? This poses a problem; what to do with all the bags you acquire in your retail journeys? Candi, the teacher of this class has discovered if you take an ordinary plastic bag and cut it into strips; you can actually knit with the plastic.

With all the retailers out there and all the fun colored bags that find their way into our lives, you can have yourself a vast array of sustainable knitting materials!

A picture of your artwork is worth a thousand words---make it say what you want it to say. Creating great images of your work is an essential survival skill for artists. Make your art look as good in print and in cyberspace as it should, for etsy, your website, or getting into fairs and juried shows.
Learn expert ways to navigate the challenges and peculiarities of photographing craftwork. We will compare the virtues of digital and film photography, cover home studio setups, lighting, the pros and cons of models, props, and composing a picture. Teresa will bring equipment to take some sample pictures in class. Students will take home a handout with tips and a short recommended reading list.
