Saturday, June 24, I am pleased to be teaching a one-day workshop with the fabulous Meta4 Gallery in Port Perry. They feature beautiful fine arts and crafts by Ontario artists and artisans, and are a hub for art education and community involvement. I'm really looking forward to working with these enthusiastic people.

Saturday, July 15,  Paper Engineering: Pop-Up Workshop at Haliburton School of Art and Design - a full day workshop. See the PDF file for HSAD Summer programs here.

My Artful PopUp Workshops are suitable for all skill levels. I work closely with my students to ensure a successful outcome for everyone! The emphasis is on learning Paper Engineering techniques that can be adapted to your artistic vision. We use painted and decorative papers, decorative punches and other embellishments to bring your pieces to life. If you've taken one of my workshops before, you'll know that I'm flexible in my approach and open to requests. If you like working with paper (origami, making books, collage, scrapbooking) you'll love making your own Pop Up pieces.

Make a Pop Up Accordion Book

with the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Arts Guild…and me! On September 10-11. Looking forward to a great weekend of paper engineering.

Pop Up Workshop in April

This has been a great year for Pop Ups! 

I just finished a 4-day gig at the Cawthra Park Secondary School, with Grades 9 and 10 Visual Arts Students. They did some amazing work with painted paper pop ups. 

And now I'm looking forward to my upcoming workshop 

over two Sundays in April (10 & 17). 

Join me at Neilson Park Creative Centre to learn some cool moves in Paper Engineering.

April Pop-Up Workshop!

Join me for two days in April ( Sunday, April 10 & 17) for a Pop-Up Art Workshop at

Neilson Park Creative Centre

and learn some cool Paper Engineering moves. Whether you're a book artist, love paper, origami buff or just want to try something new - I teach a versatile and creative workshop designed to meet you at your level of expertise, whether you're just beginning or you've had some experience with pop ups. 

POP UP Workshop

Coming up this Sunday, November; a one-day Pop-Up Workshop at Neilson Park Creative Centre. 

Learn to make nested Parallel folds, off-center folds, spinners and other great little 3-D moves. 

Then - on Monday, November 2, I will be doing another Magic Monday at Visual Arts Mississauga, the theme: PopUp!

Hope to see you there.

Starting Soon….

Classes at VAM and NPCC will be starting up soon and I'm looking forward to a busy Fall Season.

It's looking like all my Drawing classes are a 'go', but there's still room left if you want to sign up. 

I'll be teaching Introduction to Drawing at VAM on Tuesday mornings, and at NPCC on Thursday evenings.

Intermediate Drawing will be on Tuesday afternoons at VAM and Thursday afternoons at NPCC.

I'm also looking forward to Introduction to Life Drawing, Monday evenings at VAM.

Magic Mondays are a new product being introduced at VAM. Three hour Introductory Workshops for Adults,  no artistic experience required. Plus refreshments! I'm looking forward to teaching Pen & Ink on Oct.5 and Paper PopUps on Nov.2.

NPCC will be hosting my Pen & Ink workshop on Sunday, Oct.18, and my PopUp Workshop (for Adults) on Sunday, Nov.1. 

…and for me….Figurative Drawing on Fridays at Neilson Park.

So - if you're thinking about taking art classes - the clock is ticking. Hope to see you there!
