Abstract Magic with Alcohol Inks
No brushes, no rules! Unleash your inner artist and let the colours flow! My alcohol ink classes are all about playful experimentation, bold splashes of colours, and creating one-of-a-kind abstract masterpieces. Whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned creative, you'll love watching the inks dance, blend, and transform into art that's uniquely yours.
It's less about perfection and more about the joy of discovery - so come ready to explore, relax, and have some colourful fun!
Your abstract masterpiece will be created on 11x14" yupo paper, perfect for framing and hanging up in your home! You'll also receive a smaller size to practice on before starting your 11x14 piece. And don't worry, if you "mess up" (psst - there's no such thing as messing up) it is a very forgiving medium! But I will help guide you every step of the way to achieve your desired outcome!

Intro to Modern Quilting
This 6-week course will introduce you to many aspects of quilting and give you a great foundation to build your skills as you embark on your quilting journey. No previous quilting experience is required. Basic knowledge of your sewing machine would be an asset.
The first week will be an introductory session where we will talk about the terminology you will need to understand as we navigate this adventure and things to accumulate for your project:
- fabric (solids, prints, scraps, pre-cuts etc.)
- fabric preparation (to wash or not to wash)
- cutting tools, rulers; how to use them
- basic sewing supplies
In the remaining 5 weeks, we will cover:
- various techniques in quilting while you create
modern blocks based on traditional piecing.
- assembling the blocks in various ways
- making the quilt “sandwich”
- stitching the layers together
- binding the edge
Your project will be approximately 48 X 72 when finished.
Please note, this class will run from March 5 - April 16, excluding the week of April 2.
