PRINT your PET

Hello Everyone!

I want to apologize for a TIME CHANGE in our upcoming Crafting class.

The ACTUAL time will be 4:30-7pm

I hope you all can still make it, as do I hope this time change may work well for folks who had other time conflicts!

SO here is the info!

Brickelltown Crafternoons Presents:

Print Your Pet pooch, parrot or puss

Mary Kenny will be teaching an introductory print making class in the

Brickelltown Courtyard.

TUESDAY AUGUST 18th at 4:30-7pm

10382 donner pass rd

Truckee, CA 96161

550-9610

The cost is $18 bucks and includes ALMOST everything you need!

In this afternoon class you will learn how to create a simple linocut.

Linocut transforms the simplest of images into graphic form, producing bold,

dramatic prints similar in appearance to woodcuts. You'll learn to plan an image, carve an easy cut plate,

work in positive and negative and print with multiple colors.

linocut prints make fabulous greeting cards, and can also be printed on fabric.

No experience necessary!

This is a wonderful way to begin an exploration of print making.

Please bring:

a picture of you pet or a face you want to print

water to drink

any additional papers, cards or cloth you want to print on.

any questions: hey@drakeandlulus.com 530-550-9610

Personal Shrines

This Project is dedicated to using the materials and found objects you already have. 

Materials:

I used:

scrap wood for pedestal and little boxes

vinatge quilt patches

old books

old lace

found key

wish bone

wooden thread spools

and of course:

glue

paint

Inspiration: 

My grandmother: I wanted this piece to serve as a sort of generic, yet with a personal feel grandmother piece. 

Artistic Inspiration:

Joseph Cornell 

Louise Nevelson 

Time: This piece took me a few days to assemble and build.

Maybe take a few minutes, or a few weeks to build a personal shrine, or dedicate on to someone you love.

Options: Think 3d with this project. Often just taking things off the wall is an important first step.

Get crafting & send me your photos. I will post them.
