A Day of Crafty Fun! Saturday, September 29



Stamping and Shopping with Steven
Saturday, September 29


We hope you plan to join us as artist Steven Zeigler leads a series of 3 workshops at the Nokesville Church of the Brethren.  Take one as your schedule allows, or make a day of it!  Following each workshop, there will be a "Pop-Up" Store where you can shop for the merchandise used in each class. You won't want to miss it!  Class fees include cost of supplies, and all other proceeds from these workshops benefit the Major Maintenance campaign of the church.

Welcome (Back) to Watercoloring!  
Class Fee*:  $45.00  
9:30 AM to 12:00 PM  

Join Steven as we learn (or revisit) watercoloring the Art Impressions way!  Art Impressions has designed a fun and easy way to watercolor using stamps and markers to produce a finished watercolor project that will amaze your friends and family!  This class is great for first-timers, as well as others who may have taken an Art Impressions' Watercolor class before (either at the store or at a convention) and need a refresher!  In this class, we will start off with basic watercoloring techniques and then move on to complete four projects that you can turn into cards, pictures, scrapbook layouts, or other projects later on!

This is a technique class, and we will go at a steady pace to ensure we finish the projects but also ensure that questions are answered, and we master the basics.  Supplies to Bring:  No supplies necessary for this class!  (Please note:  Class kits are provided directly by Art Impressions.  Pictures represent a sample of what you will make in class, but class projects may be different depending on the class kit offerings by Art Impressions at the time of the class.) 

"Art Is Love" Mixed Media Canvas
Class Fee*:  $35.00
1:00 PM to 2:00 PM

Have you ever wanted to learn about mixed media but didn't know where to start?  Or maybe you're a mixed media fanatic and you're looking for new techniques, products to try, or just want to complete a fun canvas!  Join Steven as we delve into the world of mixed media using products by Art Anthology to create an "Art is Love" canvas.  You'll get an opportunity to play with some of Art Anthology's latest products, including its new dimensional medium line "Shine," as well as Velvets, Rust Effects, Coloration Sprays, Mud, and stencils!  No mixed media experience necessary, just an open mind to have fun, experiment, and walk away with a great finished 8" x 10" canvas!  Supplies to Bring:  Black Sharpie marker, baby wipes (or equivalent) and apron (or wear old clothes).  Heat gun and disposable gloves are recommended, but not required.

Heartfelt Creations "Flowers and Fun" Class
Class Fee*:  $35.00 
3:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Heartfelt Creations has brought us some truly amazing projects featuring 3-D flowers!  Now, they have made it even easier with their 3-D shaping molds!  Come join Steven as he talks about the entire Heartfelt Creations line, including product collections and other products, while we make three beautiful cards featuring 3-D flowers using Heartfelt Creations' new 3-D shaping molds.  Using these molds, you'll be a "flower shaping" expert in no time and can begin to add these amazing effects to your cards, scrapbook layouts, or other projects that are sure to wow family and friends! Supplies to Bring:  Dry adhesive, such as a tape runner; wet adhesive, such as Art Glitter Dries Clear glue or Tombow Glue; 3-D pop dots.

*Your Class Fee includes the cost of supplies and an instructor fee.  For this "Day of Crafty Fun", Steven is donating his entire instructor fee to Nokesville Church of the Brethren.  Thank you for registering and supporting Nokesville Church of the Brethren!

About Steven
Steven began his journey as a papercrafter by learning, using, and falling in love with Copic markers (back before they were popular with papercrafters!)  Around 2011, as more and more papercrafters began using Copic markers, Steven was introduced to the world of papercrafting, including stamping, cardmaking, scrapbooking, and mixed media.  Now an avid papercrafter, Steven enjoys teaching others his passion through classroom instruction, e-learning, and on-site learning at scrapbooking conventions and expos.  In his free-time, Steven enjoys cardmaking and scrapbooking with friends, visiting papercrafting stores and scrapbooking conventions, and collecting paper (after all, isn't that all of our hobbies?)!

Beginning Bookbinding Workshop

We are so excited that we still can enjoy being a part of the community we've enjoyed for 15 years now.  We have two opportunities this month to "get your crafty on," and we hope you'll make time for yourself to try something new!

If you never tried bookbinding before, don't miss this opportunity to join Angela in historic Brentsville for this beginner's class.  You'll be sitting in a one-room school house that was built in 1929 on the foundation of the former Prince William County Clerk's office that was destroyed during the Civil War.  Don't worry - it has air conditioning!!!!!

Enjoy this brush with history while you practice an ancient art form.  Only a few spaces are left.

Then, see the post below for a day of workshops taking place at Nokesville Church of the Brethren on September 29.  We truly hope to see you there!
