The Aperture Art Book


In this course, you will learn how to use standard, collector coin folders as the base for your artist book. 

Multiple media techniques will be demonstrated, taking you back to your creative origins + introduce you to some new, creative obsessions.  Don't say I didn't warn you. ;)


Your finished project will be something you will want to hold in your hands, flipping through each chunky page, admiring the wonderful textures, colors, and art-filled aperture openings.


You'll learn how to bind it all together with a super creative, functional, and versatile binding that can be used across all of your creative art book projects.

Elements of Texture (an artist book)

In this course, you will explore textures using Powertex Products and mediums. We will create a 10 page artist book jammed full of SURPRISE AND DELIGHT! Each page will feature a new technique that can be used to build an art toolbox to create all kinds of TEXTURAL MAYHEM. We will use fabrics and fibers with Powertex Universal Medium, (a textile hardener), pigments, sprays, 3D Sand, Stone Art, etc. to create texture like you've never seen. You will finish the course with a touchable, textural artist book that will be the envy of your friends. As a special gift, I will also share a quick tutorial on how to cast your own molds, using Powertex Sand Art and plaster. I promise you WILL be addicted to creating, what I call - 'Booksemblage' - dimensional book making at it's finest! (remember, you read that here first) :) SPECIAL NOTE: THE PURCHASE OF POWERTEX PRODUCTS IS REQUIRED FOR THIS COURSE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE DEMONSTRATED TECHNIQUES.

Snap It - Journal Workshop

Welcome to SNAP-IT! - a Journal Workshop. A 12 month format, that allows you to document your year, in small, bite sized bits. I am using the 2025 Artist Almanac as the basis for the substrate, but any collage material will do. Pull out your 2025 Almanac (or even your unused past year copies) AND/OR your abundant stash of collage material for an easy, functional, and unique journal. In this course, I will share how to construct the monthly formatted journal with a (self described) Exposed Case Binding with one of the coolest closures you will ever see! I incorporate snap ribbon to create an adjustable, decorative, and simply kick ass closure. You will want to make this journal every year as a way to record memories, thoughts, and feelings over time.
