Flutter CanvasInstructor: Nicole WrightTime: 12:30 p.m.–3:00 p.m. (2.5 hours)Fee: $45.00Create a specimen with bright colorful butterflies. Going back to basics and colouring with markers. Dig through your stash and bring your favourite markers where we will blend each butterfly with bold bright colours. Challenge your skills of combining colours and blending with this stunning reverse canvas.

Impress with a “Deep Impression” JournalInstructor: Cathie AllanTime: 9:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. (2.5 hours)Fee: $50.00Build your rubber-stamping confidence while creating this beautiful “passport style” journal and interior pages. Unlock the creative ability of your stamps and stamp pads as you learn several different backgrounds, stamping techniques and a gorgeous, unique “embedded design”, complete with a metallic sheen to embellish this beautiful book. The techniques taught in this class will be shown in several formats, as the ideas taught in this class are not limited to the

journal. There will be a Christmas card jump-off, a scrapbook page, more journals and tags to view that have all been created with these amazing techniques. This truly is a class you do not want to miss if you want to grow your stamping abilities.

Brush Lettering BasicsInstructor: Kelly KlapsteinTime: 3:30 p.m.–5:30 p.m.Fee: $50.00Breathe. Write. Relax. In this workshop, you will be guided through a series or lettering exercises with brush pens and learn the art of calligraphy.

All supplies are provided.NOTE: This is a beginner level class.

Nicole will walk you through the techniques to create your own layers and backgrounds so when you get home you will look at your supplies differently. Learning these techniques is something you can apply to all your future craft projects. This class is heavily technique based and of course messy. If it’s not messy it’s not fun.

Introduction to Watercolour LetteringInstructor: Kelly KlapsteinTime: 12:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m. (2 hours)Fee: $50.00Explore the beautiful world of watercolour lettering with easy to learn techniques. No experience is necessary for this watercolour workshop, where you will learn about letter styles and how to achieve some colourful effects, like rainbow and galaxy letters. You will complete two watercolour monograms suitable for framing.

You will learn how to create unique effects using beautiful stamps and stamp pads to create the background, a gorgeous frame and charming vellum embellishments. The ideas in this class will inspire you

to create more than this one project as the techniques are transferable.
