"Mixed Media ATC's"
(Artist Trading Cards)
Wednesday, September 9 6:00-9:00pm
$110
Discover the magic of creating small but powerful works of art in this playful mixed media class focused on Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). These miniature artworks—just 2.5 x 3.5 inches—are the perfect space to explore creativity, experiment with materials, and express your unique artistic voice.
In these classes, you’ll layer a variety of materials to create a series of richly textured cards. Each card becomes a tiny canvas for storytelling, symbolism, and creative exploration.
You’ll learn techniques for building depth and interest in a small format while allowing intuition and curiosity to guide the process. By the end of the session, you’ll have a collection of one-of-a-kind cards that can be kept, gifted, or traded with other artists—spreading creativity far beyond the studio.
Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike, this class invites you to play, experiment, and discover how much magic can live inside something small.
All materials are provided.
🌸All classes open with gentle intention setting, and either a short meditation or crystal sound bowl session.
"Spooled Stories"
Wednesday, August 5 9:00-4:00 pm
$200
In this unique mixed media class, you will create a personal story told through layered paper, fabric, and hand stitching, all wrapped around two beautiful one of a kind handmade wooden spools (3" tall). Like thread winding around a bobbin, your memories, symbols, textures, and words will slowly gather to form a visual narrative.
Using a combination of your own designed papers, altered fabrics, lace, and simple stitching techniques, you’ll build a long strip of mixed media that represents moments, emotions, or themes from your life. Dye, scrape, etch, and wax your papers and fabrics to create a vintage look and feel. Use your own photographs to transfer images that help tell your story. Marks, imagery, fragments of text, and symbolic materials become part of the story you tell.
As your piece grows, it will be gently wrapped around the wooden spools—transforming your artwork into a tactile object that can be unwound and revisited, revealing your story layer by layer.
This class is both a creative exploration and a reflective process, inviting you to slow down, work with your hands, and honour the threads that make up your journey.
No advanced sewing experience is needed—just a willingness to explore, layer, stitch, and tell your story through art.
All materials are provided, including two wooden spools, however please bring:
-
scissors

two photos of people in your family you would to use in the project. ***Either print them out on your ink jet printer right before you come so they are fresh (no bigger than 2x3” each) or email them to Chris at chriskar@shaw.ca.

🌸All classes open with gentle intention setting, and either a short meditation or crystal sound bowl session.
