In her project lesson, Wendy will demonstrate how she created a very personal and beautiful artisan book from start to finish. We will even jumpstart your way to filling the pages with content that is helpful and meaningful to you.

Sarah has long been an ardent sharer of small works of art - whether as postcards or, more recently, ATCs.  Artist Trading Cards may be small, but they are fierce!

With ATCs those details are smaller, but no less plentiful than in her full-size art journal spreads.  Sarah will show us how to create Micro Fodder to use in making beautiful, layered ATCs. Then she will help us create a full set of ATCs with abundant detail to share with one another or the world!
