New Reveal and Cyber Monday Goodies!

n*Studio CJS2018 - Let's Jump!

A few years ago, I had lost some of my creative mojo.  But then I participated in Nathalie Kalbach's Creative Jumpstart event, and got my mojo back in a big way!

I am thrilled to announce that this year, I'll be participating as one of the teaching artists in Creative Jump Start (CJS) 2018.  This is its 7th year - and once again, it's run by the inimitable Nathalie Kalbach!

Here's a little preview!

I hope you'll participate in this one-of-a-kind event starting January 2018 to kick your creativity into high gear!  (Here's just some of the work I created in CJS 2016!) 


Throughout January participants get access to 31 downloadable videos from 31 featured artists.  I'm proud to be one of those artists, called “JumpStarters.” 

You'll learn techniques, discover new materials, connect with other artists and crafters and -- special for 2018 -- learn recipes not just for mixed media but also for your kitchen.

All of the teaching artists are sharing their favorite recipes - both in and outside the studio!!

I hope you'll head over to Nathalie's site for more details and to sign up!   This link has my affiliate code. I do earn a small percentage for everyone who signs up using my code.  So thank you in advance!
Here's why you should do this today!

CJS2018 will be available from November 27 (10am EST)  - November 29 (11.59pm EST) as a Cyber Monday Special for $40!  Afterwards it will be available for $45 through 12/31.  Beginning January 1, it will be $50.  So sign up today!  n*Studio CJS2018 - Let's Jump!
