This is a multi-media project utilizing several different artistic techniques. For this project, you'll experiment with collaging colorful paper onto a canvas, iris folding, embellishing and giving it an antique look as a final touch. Come ready to learn new skills and have fun with paper. The picture below is only one example as you will choose the paper colors and the saying to make your piece unique. (you'll be contacted ahead of time for these choices) 

It is a paper-crafting technique that involves taping thin, folded strips of paper (or fabric) in a spiraled, overlapping pattern to fill a shaped cutout. This class will teach you the technique while creating a beautiful piece of art you can send as a greeting card or frame as a 5X7" or 8X10" pop of spring in your home. (frames are not included).  The picture below is only an example-- you will choose your own colors with a variety of solid templates. The possibilities are endless so start imaging how yours will look now! While the vase is the main focus of the class, you will leave with a few other handmade items not shown.

All supplies will be provided for $20 payable to the instructor at the start of the class; however, if you have a heavy, stationary tape dispenser bring it with you.

Deep down I'm still a Louisiana girl-- but Georgia has been my home since 1992. My BA degree was in elementary/ special education, M.Ed in Curriculum & Instruction and Ed.S in Arts Integration. I loved elementary-aged, but after moving to the high school level, I worked there for 14 years. After retiring and moving to Blairsville four years ago, I taught GED classes at the Detention Center through NGTC.  

I began "creating" anything I could around the age of 6. I can remember making cat beds out of kleenex boxes and popsicle sticks. I designed my own Barbie clothes and made my own outfits in high school. 

The hardest question to answer is "what type of art do you do?" I don't knit. I don't crochet. But I like painting, wood crafts, papercrafts, sewing, mixed media projects, sewing, quilting, and a lot more. 

My daughter and I craft together as Mumsy & Me Creations, LLC when we have time. Our creations are in Cable's Gallery, Keen Creations & The Farmer Mercantile. 

I'm excited to join ICL staff so I can share my two favorite talents: teaching and crafting!
