2017 Classes, Workshops, Retreats and Demos

I’m currently a guest teacher in:  
The Black & White Journal: A Minimal Approach to Artful Journaling,  e-course hosted by the lovely and talented Kiala Givehand.   Since this is a Kiala offering, you also get a book-making lesson as well as the many ways to use just black and white in your art journals.

This class is about learning to journal with intention but in a simple, minimalistic way. It’s about learning to create with basic materials. Kiala has brought together 7 teachers from all walks of life to share their love of art, art journaling, and simple approaches to journaling in order to start (or reconnect to) a simple creative practice. It’s going to be an amazing course perfect for Zentangle lovers.

My lesson on  “Tangled and Knotted Journaling” is one of the many things you can learn.  I’d love to see you join us there!
CLICK HERE​ to join and register.   The course and lessons are available until next July (2018) plus there’s a private Facebook Group you can join when you register.

Ongoing Online Classes:

Introductory Skills in Celtic Art:  Interlocking and Interlacing Shapes

I have quick and easy set of lessons up on Skillshare.com that serves as a great starter to learning Celtic Knotwork, using simple shapes.   The class is only 20 minutes, and can be re-watched as much as you’d like if you sign up for Skillshare premium (which is like the the “Netflix of Learning” with 1000’s of classes).

Heads-up, Sign ups for Skillshare Premium will still net you TWO FREE months of premium subscription instead of one with this link!

Celtic Knotwork Skills Class #2: Drawing Hearts and Pretzel Knots

This new class is a great follow-up to my first class above, and gets you on the road to learning some fundamental DESIGN skills using the heart shape as a base to create a myriad of knots….  I hope you’ll join me!
