Workshop One for 2011 - An Introduction to Altered Art - learn about altered art by altering an object of your choice.  $5 of your fee will be given back to you when we go on our road trip to buy an object for you to alter (be it a book, box, tin, or a clothespeg!) everything else, including art materials and mediums are supplied (including resin for small projects).  For those wanting to do major resin work, however, I will advise you on what type and where you can get it from.  Most hardware stores stock resin.

BRIEF OUTLINE - WORKSHOP DAY


10am - Introductions with tea and tinies! (yum!).

10.30am - Pania and Debrina (Debbie) will show and tell some of their altered art pieces, and supply you with a list of resources, art supply contacts, and literature.

11.30am - Project work. It is here where we talk to you individually about your ideas for a project. We will also gauge your skill level and try and tailor your project to extend those skills.

For some ideas on what you could alter, take a look at our previous Introductory Class HERE

If you are still stuck for ideas, try also looking at my blog here.  I have a category list on the right hand side panel (just click on the category "altered art") or check out some of my friends' blogs, under Blogs I Love, on my left side panel.  If you're still stuck, let me know and we'll see what we can come up with!!

See you on the day!

TESTIMONIALS: 

Hi Debbie and Pania, just thanking you both for the most fabulous workshop ever!!!

 I learnt so much, was amazed how you coped and guided each of us on our totally  different projects.   Being a small group, I confess to eavesdropping on some of the 'tricks' you showed others too!

Both of you have incredible skill levels and working as a team, you complemented each other,  doubled our knowledge, enjoyment  and  contact time.

I loved the fact that we met together at Pania's, her home is like an art gallery and the display of both your work was inspirational.

The use  and guidance of a wonderful range of your materials was stress free  and  added to the fact we learnt what we ourselves could purchase and where.

Thank you both so much, you put a heap of time into the organization of the workshop and I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to participate in the future!!!

Both morning tea and lunch were delicious and the cost of the whole day was well worth every single cent and more, where else can you get such undivided attention to indulge your creativity.  Loved the surprise road trip!

I would gladly be back tomorrow!

Wonderful wonderful thank you, great tutors, great company, this enthusiastic, inspired woman is off to her studio to 'play" with my crackle paint again.

Heaps of hugs  Jill xo
