Art and Soul Classes - Portland

Mark, Faron and myself spent 5 days attending art classes at Art and Soul.  My first day found me attending Jean Vanbroderode's class of the Restless Spirit.  Great teacher, great project.

Jean also taught us bracelet enameling...











We took several classes using the hydraulic press.  Now that we have one in our own classroom, we will be doing more projects using this fabulous machine.  Enameling classes also start Thanksgiving weekend at Mrs. O'Leary's.


 All 3 of us took classes with Patricia Saggebruch working in encaustic wax.  Below are examples of Tricia's work.  She has 2 great books out showing the process and holds camps and workshops in her studio.

Works in progress...


Faron took "Compartment Houses" with Cathy Dorris.  Found out her roots are right here in Kansas.  The use of acrylics and embellishments were so vivid!

We all took classes from Barbara Lewis "Painting With Fire"...

The Garden Party theme featured a garden hat contest.  Can you guess which one was the winner?







And the winner is!
