CREATE with the Best
August 25th-29th, 2011
Rosemont, Illinois
Wow! Have you seen the instructor line up for Create? Did you get a look at the workshop schedule?
You can learn everything from no-stitch ATCs with Belinda Spiwak to monoprinting with Jeanne Moore. Or how about making a painted face canvas with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer or make "a book within a book" with Linda Blinn? Join a painted canvas collaboration with Jamie Fingal and Leslie Jenison, or work in metal with Cheryl Darrow or Jess Italia. And there's jewelry to be made with Jane Salley, Barbe St. John, Leilani Pierson, and others. Work on your journaling; do some printing, stitching, or painting; make a book.
There is SO much to choose from…how will you decide? Don't be left out. Register now.
Perhaps you can't wait until August to start learning. Start now! Check out the Workshop DVDs from some of the wonderful artist who will be at CREATE, and get a head start on the fun.
