TOOLS & SUPPLIES
Get out your tools and join me for TOOLS & SUPPLIES: 1 of the 12 classes taking place as part of Mixed Media Mechanics - a once-monthly, year-long, online workshop series.
The Lowdown
Mixed Media Mechanics is a series of 12 workshops that focus on many of the techniques that are the basis for mixed media art. Think of these classes as back to basics - although they are geared equally toward beginners and seasoned pros.
The Tools & Supplies class was held Live on Tuesday March 7, 2023. This is an edited and recorded version.You cannot be a mechanic without a tool kit and this class focuses on a review and demonstration of both standard and more unusual tools and supplies used in mixed media. This class is a bit different from all the others as there is no supply list. Unless you count paper + pencil or your computer if you want to take notes.
You will be sitting back and relaxing while I spend the time introducing, reviewing, and/or demoing my favorite tools and supplies for mixed media. I will be sharing company information, technical details, technique and process tips, and more as I take you on a tour of some of the basic and advanced supplies used for mixed media.
The Skinny
