Mixed Media Mania Workshop

Join us Tuesday February 25th
10am-1pm 
or 
6pm-9pm
for 
Mixed Media Mania
with Susan Tidwell 
and make this amazing
"Grungy Hearts" Technique Canvas
Cost is $40

This month we will create a "grungy" 
12 x 12 canvas featuring a multi-layered
 distressed background and nine hearts, 
all a different technique. Learn some new
 "faux" metal techniques and use some old
 tried-and-true techniques with a new look. 
We will be using a long list of lotions and 
potions in this class so you can make this
canvas as you see here or in colors 
of your choosing.


Please bring the following supplies:

Your Basics
heat tool
non-stick craft sheet
quick-dry liquid adhesive 

Let's get "Grungy" together!

Seats still available in both sessions.
