1-Day Workshop on Saturday, February 4, 2012
in Studio CRESCENDOh

Sponsored by Interweave & Cloth Paper Scissors

"Over the years, I have learned that my art journal is a great place for artistic experiments. It's all about ruin and rescue. By discovering that virtually all "mistakes" can be "fixed," I gained confidence and lost the fear of ruining my artwork. Come and spend the day learning a panoply of techniques for layering, collaging, doodling, and creating wonderful new things from the ashes of old projects." — Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
