Transform Your Tape

Transform Your Tape A workshop with Carolyn Dube

It’s regularly $35 but until Sunday, September 15th it is just $30!

I had a drawerful of washi tapes that I rarely used. I was cleaning out my studio and I realized I bought them because I loved them but I wasn’t using them.  Why?  They weren’t exactly me so I decided to change that!

Now I am using that tape.  And I didn’t stop there.  I eyed the packing tape on my shelf.  I started upcycling it.  That led to the artist tape ( like a white masking tape).  And then this workshop, Transform Your Tape!

There’s a giveaway for a spot in this workshop!  Just leave a comment here before Sunday, Sept. 15th!  

Transform Your Tape A workshop with Carolyn Dube

In the videos I explain not only how to make these tapes but I’ll explain why I make the choices I make.  I will show you my entire process, including my Oops and how I handle them.  You’ll see when my tape hit that ugly stage and how that actually helped me turn that tape from the one I liked the least into my favorite of all time!

 

Transform Your Tape A workshop with Carolyn Dube

Clear packing tape will be turned into colorful works of art! You will work with patterned washi tape enhancing the pattern by adding layers of color and more pattern! Yes, more pattern!   You will take plain white tape and create rich colorful tape filled with images!  All in your favorite colors because you’ll be customizing it just the way you want it!

    Hi Carolyn
    This sounds like such fun. Plus it would make good use of things that are sitting around the studio, not being used to the max. It would be a thrill to win a spot in the class.

    How sad I just found you so probably too late to win a chance to make some awesome tapes. I too have a lot of washi and don’t use it enough. I loved the ones you have done and just started following you. You really inspire me. Thanks for what you do.
