Summer Art Series
Summer is short, at least where I'm from, so being outside as much as I can is a priority for me. However, I spend a lot of time in my studio creating, which takes me inside. I can feel the pull of the outdoors calling to me, so I decided to combine my creative practice with being outside in the warm weather as often as I can.
I bet you feel the same?
This is what led me to create this Summer Art Series. I created each of the classes in this series as a way to combine creativity and nature. My hope is that this series will inspire many outdoor adventures for you!
What is Ecoprinting?
Ecoprinting is fun way to create unexpected designs on existing paper. We'll gather plants from outside, and arrange the plants on our paper to create a nice composition - then we'll let the boiling process work its magic.
The results are always better than you can imagine! It's such a joy to work with this paper because it will always carry with it the memories of summer.
I'll also show you the many ways that you can use this paper from creating gifts, beautifying your home and incorporating it into your own creative practice.

Intuitive Art with Ecoprints
The nature of eco print paper is always unexpected, you never know what the end result will be. Some of the paper will tell you what it wants to be, like this piece. The face was already there and I just help provide a little more clarity.
