Hi there
I know I have been a bad blogger this year, but I am busy making changes to my life in the real world so that I can be more creative for me... which hopefully will mean blogging more!!!!
I have been guest teaching mixed media and the like at stores since 2011 and it has taken its toll on me and my family.
I have my own studio where I teach acrylics on canvas to adults Monday to Thursday mornings and Tuesday and Thursday evenings... ie: 6 classes a week. This is my "bread and butter money." I have been doing this for 19 years!
Then I have been doing the external guest teaching so I could fund my crafting hobby. Unfortunately the time it takes to design projects, kit them and teach them on Fridays as well as week-ends, has taken its toll on both me and my family.
SO!
I have decided to only teach acrylics on canvas at my studio next year. I will not be doing any external guest teaching.
I will however be teaching the owners of the various stores and any other teachers who would like to learn from me. This way what I have started will not end...
I am keen to pass on what I know so the industry grows and the store owners grow.
The last class I will be guest teaching for this year will be Tim's technique tags on 3 December at Art and Ink! Then I am taking a year off.
So here you see my versions of the November and October tags. If you would like to see how Tim created them you can click these links: October tag and November tag
