It's all about the Face Mask with Pam Carriker, author of Art at the Speed of Life and her NEW book Creating Art at the Speed of Life! Most of us try to put our best face forward, but often underneath there are many things going on that our outward appearance masks. In this self-examining art journaling exercise, you’ll learn masking techniques for creating a "safe zone" to unload those thoughts and feelings our outward mask hides. From the silly to the serious, recording your inner thoughts in an artistic way is a valuable self-awareness tool and the mixed-media process satisfies the creative soul.

Get ready to play with paint...Color and Pattern Play with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, author of Carve, Stamp, Play! Learn how easy it is to create complicated patterns full of color and energy. And speaking of color, we'll be mixing up our own custom colors so that your art journal pages are bursting with your own unique flavor!

Paint it Out with Dina Wakley, author of Art Journal Freedom! Join Dina for a fun, therapeutic art experience. You'll start by creating a mess! You’ll scribble, make marks, write out thoughts and feelings, and let the emotions spill. Anything goes! Then you'll examine your messes and find shapes and forms in the chaos. Learn how to isolate the shapes and forms and to create beauty from the mess. You'll end with lots of layers that peek out, interact, and vibrate with meaning.

If you've read Collage Unleashed or Doodles Unleashed...you'll love the sneak peek into my new book. Dive into Printmaking Unleashed with me! Create art journal backgrounds and collage papers using handmade tools. Explore mark making and create colorful layers with simple printmaking techniques using prints, paper cutouts and monotypes. Learn how to add mark making, custom colors and patterns, and printmaking to your journals. Use stencils and masks to take your journal sessions to a deeper level of self discovery. Scribble, paint, doodle, and journal your way through a fun and exciting day of artistic explorations.

This is going to be an event you won't want to miss..so come join us in Charlotte!
