February workshop with Barbara Close

For a couple of days in late February, 18 members got to spend their time playing with all sorts of great art supplies.  Barbara had ventured to the 'cold north' to teach three workshops - we shared her with Duncan and Edmonton.

We chose to have her teach her "Textured Letters" workshop.  Starting most letters with the 'stem', we used alcohol inks, zentangles, coloured pencils, gel pens, watercolours, collage, pan pastels and many more techniques to create texture in our letters.

Wendy commented on Facebook that you know a workshop has been successful when you go home and don't put all your workshop supplies away.  This was most definitely one of those workshops! I still have bits of mylar, yupo and alcohol inks on my workspace. A wonderful time was had by all in attendance!
