The second class I taught at Art is You is called "The Sky's the Limit." There were many old friends in the class, including Marjie Kemper. It is always such an honor when another teacher takes your class.
We started out making lots of prints using Gelli plates, lots and lots of Stencil Girl Stencils, stamps and other mark making techniques.
Look at the beautiful prints people made!
Then we cut up our papers and collaged them.
The collages were beautiful in and of themselves!
We sketched out our cityscapes, and painted them using glazing techniques to adjust the colors without obscuring all of the beautiful patterns underneath.
Thank you Marjie Kemper for capturing these "action shots!"
Happy students make for a happy teacher!
If you missed this class or my Altered Book Memory keeper, check out the Jessica Sporn Designs Meetup group. I am teaching these two classes in 2015 in my home studio. The limit is 6 students per class, and we have a lot of fun. I live in the town of Montclair, NJ, within walking distance of the NJ Transit train from Penn Station. My studio is just steps away from lots of great restaurants, a movie theater and more. I would love to see you!

DeleteI thoroughly enjoyed this class, Jessica. We all appreciated your personal attention in class, as we learned the process of creating (finding) our cityscapes. The glazing technique was new to me, and I will most definitely use it again in other projects! Thanks for sharing both your time and talent with us! Mwah!
