Instant Backgrounds Using Wrapping Paper with Lisa: Saturday, June 7, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM. These cards are not only fun & easy, but very different & artsy looking.

The Weird Correspondence of Nick Bantock with Lisa: Sunday, June 8, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM. There is only one word to describe the art of Nick Bantock: weird!

In this class, Lisa will have you making 5 funny cards that appear to have been actually mailed, using odd postage & correspondence sayings such as "very personal, resealed" or "delivered by sleight of hand". The trip begins at 2pm at THE STAMP ADDICT, so sign up fast for the adventure of a lifetime! Cost $15.00*.

Art Material Alchemy with MaryJo: Wednesday, June 11, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM. Have you ever wondered how to use gel mediums? Have you pondered what to mix with Pearl Ex?
