Join me for a couple of hours of fun, filled with color and play with plenty of laughter, in person at Stampaway. What’s an in person class with me like? Students often say that I am just like on my YouTube videos. Which makes sense, because that is exactly who I am.
After a workshop, you’ll be comfortable with the tools and supplies so you can create what brings you joy because I’ll break it all down step by step and share my short cuts too.
But wait, there’s more! I bring most of the supplies so this a is great chance to try out new tools and supplies like a Gel Press gel plate or PanPastels. And yes, there’s always a great big stash of StencilGirl stencils there too!
What will I be teaching? 4 workshops this year on Wed. and Thursday, August 8 and 9th, in Cincinnati. I’m not the only instuctor, there are lots more including Dyan Reaveley, Nancy Curry, and Joe Rotella.
Then there’s the shopping. There are a plethora of exhibitors including StencilGirl Products and Mary Beth Shaw will demoing in person too!
I’m looking forward to seeing you in August at Stampaway!
