I was so excited to teach my first Meetup class in my new studio. I wasn't sure how the space would work out, but it was splendid! The subject of the class was home blessings using the Hamsa Stencil from Stencil Girl.
You can read all about the symbolism of the Hamsa here, and see step out photos for how I created these Hamsa Canvases on the Stencil Girl Talk blog here.
Here are my fantastic students playing with the Hamsa Stencil and other stencils from Stencil Girl. Each of their canvases came out so beautifully!
A big thank you to ace photographer Samy Cordero for capturing all the smiles and mark making!
Congratulations to Rebecca Tilinski who is the winner of the charm giveaway from this post.
I have classes scheduled through my Meetup Group once a month through December. And next up, I'll be teaching at the fabulous Art is You Mixed Media Retreat in Stamford, CT, in just a few weeks. I hope to see you soon!
Your comments make me so happy and let me know you were here.
I read and treasure every comment and will happily answer any questions as soon as I can.
I'd love to play with the 5 Hamsas stencil, of course! It's been in my wishlist for a while now!

ReplyDeleteI'm amazed you got your studio up and running so soon after the move - way to go! Your class looks great and all the individual artwork is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI love the Hamas stencils ! If I am unlucky and don't win - I'll just have to purchase them along with the other 10 or 20 stencils in my cart on StencilGirl! These Hamas are lovely though
ReplyDeleteWhat a great class!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a delightful day, Jessica. I think if I lived closer, we could get in trouble. You are such an inspiration and I'm sure these ladies felt that too.
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons I follow your work, aside frorm the richness of color and composition, is how easily you incorporate our spiritual well being into your artwork. I would be so delighted to win a Hamsa stencil. I never win giveaways so this would be a first!LOL! Thanks Jessica for always inspiring us.
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica....looks like your stencil has really inspired these ladies. Maybe it will inspire me too?
