Come Play With Us At Fall Classes!

Hello, howdy, and hey there!  

Yep.  We are THAT excited to announce Bean Up The Nose Art gets to teach classes this fall at the cool-assed studio of cool-assed artist, author, teacher and all-round excellent person Lisa Sonora Beam.

We posted here about the mysterious, serendipitous way that we got to hook up with Lisa . . . who turns out to live less than 10 miles from Bean Up The Nose Art's studio out in West Marin, CA.  About the terrific classes that she leads, and that we got to take.  

Since then, Lisa's become a stalwart supporter of our business, an art buddy, and a kind friend. When she offered to open up her San Anselmo, CA studio to classes by Bean Up The Nose Art . . . well!  What could be nicer?!?!?  Spending fun times with fun people doing fun things?!?!?  

 
So.  Here are the deets.  Post tamara@beanupthenoseart.com to say you are going to be able to come play with us!!!  Post soon, because both classes will be limited to six people.

Mixed Media Collage for Products

Saturday, Oct. 22  1-5 p.m.

$45.00, including all supplies

Here's how Lisa explained it in her mailer.  (I like it.  I'm just going to lift it.)  

"In 'Mixed Media Collage for Products,' Tamara [THAT'S ME!!!] guides us through a fun process for working with all sorts of fun paper ephemera, which will then be magically transformed into a handy luggage tag (something I always need more of).  We'll discuss product ideas and other ways to turn your mixed media collage creations into other stuff you can use -- and market!"

Words in there we like especially:  FUN.  MAGICALLY.  HANDY.  Because that's what we like to be at Bean Up The Nose Art:  having fun, making fun things, calling in the magic, and creating handy-dandy stuff you can actually SEE and USE, instead of just putting in a drawer (or departing with in other, sadder ways).

Sound good?  Yes?  Then, come have some fun!!!

"Giving Thanks" Postcard-Making

Saturday, November 5 1-5 p.m.

$45.00, including all supplies

In honor of the season, and the upcoming end of the year, we'll be giving ourselves the time to collage artwork for the front of postcards to send out to folks we love . . . giving thanks!!!

We'll work in black and white, with an eye toward copying the artwork onto colored card-stock . . . turning our collage into black images and words on whatever color you chose to fill the background.  Dramatic, lovely.  Artwork will be copied onto that stock within days after the class, cut into postcards, sent to you:  voila!!!  Ready for you to personalize with your own messages and addresses, and send out to loved ones.  

Hoping you'll be able to come play with us at these classes!  Should be some good times a-brewing:)  

Post tamara@beanupthenoseart.com to reserve your space at these classes.  Yay-ness.
