Classes, Classes, Classes . . . The ANS School Year Begins NOW!

The new class schedule was emailed out this afternoon. I've posted the class schedule at the end of this blog posting as well. It's time to put these classes on your calendar now so you won't miss out on all the fun at Art 'n Soul!

Last call for folks who want to take Susie's Colored Pencil class this Thursday evening beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the store. Call the store (360.357.6528) or stop in to sign up; Susie's in the beginning stages of prepping for the class now. Anyone who loves to use their colored pencils will really like this class!

Sue M. may have 'stepped out from behind the counter' but she hasn't left Art 'n Soul. She has scheduled a class using the Gamsol blender for colored pencils. When she posted the date on the class schedule, three of our customers immediately signed up; that means there are only 5 more spots left . . . I'm just sayin'! As soon as a class sample is available, I will post a pic of one of the cards.

Tuesday, September 13th, 1-4 p.m., Sue  “GETTING TO KNOW GAMSOL”, $25
OK – we all bought those nifty new Gamsol Kits … now let’s make good use of them.  Sue has been experimenting with colors, techniques, and combining pencils with Copics, glitter pens, and even watercolor paints.  Quick and easy, but more importantly – BEAUTIFUL!  We will make four finished cards and extra toppers as time permits.  Sign up early – class size will be limited.


I've scheduled a class using the new Shimmer Sheetz from Elizabeth Craft Designs. The class board will be at the store sometime tomorrow.
SHIMMER YOUR SHEETZ!
Thursday, September 23 - 1:30 to 3:30 - $25
From Elizabeth Craft Designs, the ones who bring us that beautiful micro glitter, Debbie says Shimmer Sheetz is a beautiful mylar to work with, especially using Magenta peel-offs, embossing folders and Spellbinder dies. Subtle dazzle for your cards. We'll make 4 cards plus an extra card top for you to take home. Basic class kit including glue dots, red line or strong adhesive tape, Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accents (or the like), detail cutting scissors, poker, and craft knife.

And watch for Deb K.'s Zentangle Class on the afternoon of Sunday, September 18.

It's not on the class schedule, so we hope you'll remember that  Inchies Club meets on Wednesday this week from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the store. Linda B. used her time at Play Day last Friday afternoon to make her Inchies to share . . . they're just the cutest!

So much more to see on the new schedule . . . you can always contact someone at the store to email you a copy of the schedule too (360.357.6820 or email us at artnsoul@artnsoul.comcastbiz.net).\


Thursday, August 25, 6-8 p.m., Susie – “THE MAGIC OF COLORED PENCILS”, $30
 
Susie admits she is an addict – once she picks up her colored pencils, she just can’t put them down.  She will share with you her pleasure of this versatile art medium by teaching a variety of techniques to achieve different effects.   You will be provided with at least six stamped images (at least half being Magenta stamps) and you will learn the basic techniques for completing each one of them.  You will not actually make cards in class; you will only be working on the card tops.  You do not need to bring your basic kit, but please bring as many Prismacolor premium pencils as you own.  (Prismacolor is really the only kind that will work well in this class, but if you only have another brand you may bring them – the effect will just not be the same.)  You will need a white pencil, and indigo blue and Tuscan red.   These are available at Art ‘n Soul.  If  you have a battery operated pencil sharpener please bring that as well. 

On August 29 Helene from Magenta will be at Art ‘n Soul for two more of her incredible card classes.

Monday, August 29, 2:30-4:30 p.m., Helene – “TECHNIQUE MYSTERIES”, $30 
In this class you will make 4 cards, Helene style, all using “not-so-obvious” techniques that you will want to use again with other Magenta stamps.  As always, you will not want to miss this Magenta class.  Helene’s classes are always a hit so you will want to sign up early.

Monday, August 29, 6-8 p.m., Helene – “CHRISTMAS A FEW MONTHS EARLY’, $30 
Magenta has some beautiful stamps for the holidays, and Helene will be using them to make 4 creative and very special cards, ones that you will want to replicate for the holidays.  Get in the holiday spirit early – you won’t be sorry!

Our “summer” was short, but we’ll cling to it a bit with these great cards featuring Pan Pastels!  Both those who are new to Pan Pastels and returning students will love the techniques Marj will share in this class.  Clever masking and a new method (thanks, Kim!) with water will enhance two cards, and you’ll also practice several types of applications on the other two cards.  You will make four cards, plus a bonus card top and a sleek vellum envelope.  You’ll receive instructions to keep as a reference on the techniques.  Please bring your basic kit.  If you own Pan Pastels and accessories, you may bring them, but this is not required to take the class.  Choose the afternoon or evening class.
