Next week I will be attending FOUR days of FABULOUS mixed media workshops with SETH APTER !!! I've been waiting for this event for months.....and I'm getting nervous.
With my supply list in hand, I keep putting stuff in my bag, and then taking it out. I have so much in my stash it's hard to choose.
We'll be altering books..... the following are Seth's work.

We'll be making a dossier.....a handmade journal for use after the workshop is over. This will require learning some mixed media techniques and simple binding.

We'll be doing what Seth calls '52 card pick-up'....altering 52 playing cards.

Don't expect to hear from me for weeks!!! After this lot I'll be doing plenty of sleeping. The days will mostly run from about 8.30 am - 10 pm. Up 'til 5pm is workshop, then after 7pm an 'event' of some kind. Thank heavens it's not far from home....I'll be a zombie on the road.
Eventually you'll see photos.....XXOX
OMG How lucky are you!?????

ReplyDeleteSO excited for you Jo...Playtime is what we live for!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear all about your creative time with Seth...
that is a mighty fine array of projects you'll be digging into
Enjoy * Enjoy!
oxo
p.s. packing supplies for workshops is always a task for me never knowing WHAT to bring...some workshops have a community share pile which can be fun
It will be huge, I was so sorry my body decided it couldn't cope with Seths night class but had a fabulous 2 days with Rob Bruihn, altered books are not my thing but I had such fun, can't wait to get home and do more to it, no photos as I am not set up here to download them. I thoroughly enjoyed my necklace class too but that isn't quite finished Either! Enjoy and then tell us all about it. Oh and we only had 2 in the necklace class and 5 in the altered book, I don't think there were many in any of the classes but maybe Quad will have more, We had a lass from your area doing the 2 day classes with Ro.
ReplyDeleteSorry, this note thing overrides some spelling and sometimes I forget to look, hence Rob instead of Ro and Quad not Qld.
ReplyDeleteHi JM - well good on you - these workshops can offer so much in terms of skills, inspirations and connections - hope it offers you all that and more - an d so good when you can immerse yourself in the work of a master. Enjoy. B
ReplyDeleteoh what an exciting adventure for you Jo!! Theses long workshops can be draining so be sure to drink lots of water and take breaks-oh and don't forget something for a headache (I know). How wonderful to have someone like Seth in your area. The 52 card pick up sounds like so much fun-enjoy,enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow, so jealous. I'm sure it will be so inspiring. Soak it up.
ReplyDeleteAny day now Jo! Looking forward to 4 very creative days!!
ReplyDeleteI knew he was in Australia (I've been seeing his instagram photos) but I didn't know you'd signed up for his classes - lucky lady! You'll either be so inspired you generate tons of new projects OR you'll be so exhausted you can't think......actually, hopefully it will be a happy mix of both. Can't wait to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteAnd it only took me a week to get here to wish you well on your voyage. Artful voyage, that is. And yes, I expect photos (grin).
