A Very Special Day with Lisa Engelbrecht

So I had a few people over today. :)

A really TERRIFIC group of artists who came over to take a class at my home studio from Lisa Engelbrecht. It was a treat to see Lisa at work ... as she found ways to not only teach art but to make everyone feel included, validated, and valued. What an amazing time we all had.

We got to use lots of pens and marking tools as Lisa, master lettering artist and author of Modern Calligraphy showed us the latest tips and tricks and techniques for how to create fabulous-looking letters.

  She also taught us how to paint and also to use assorted techniques involving foil to add shimmer and sparkle to our works.

The shimmer and sparkle techniques are what we used to make these cool necklaces.

Aside from the projects and techniques, we developed friendships ... the sweetest gift of all.

Toward the end of the workshop, it was great fun to have Lisa make her unique mark on my studio wall ... you may remember that my friend Michael deMeng made his mark on my wall a while back ...

And what an honor to receive Lisa's sweet message of friendship and important reminder to make art daily. 

Thank you Lisa and thank you all attending artists for a fabulous day.

PS: Lisa Engelbrecht will be teaching again in my home studio in September ... so stay tuned for more details that will be coming. And of course many more very cool and exciting classes are under development ... stay tuned and consider also signing up for our e-Newsletter where announcments about our classes will be updated regularly.
