Stories to Tell, a Mixed-Media Picture
Girls' Nite Art!
June 23, 2023
6:00 - 8:00 PM
Tonight, we'll make this picture in your art journal or on a separate substrate. We'll make a simple background hill or field in tissue paper collage. You'll choose a woman's silhouette stencil as your focal point and fill the shape with other stencils/paint. We'll add further embellishments and the phrase "stories to tell." Or another sentiment if you choose.
What is "Girls' Night Art!" ??
These classes are definitely NOT just for those who already call themselves artists. Everyone is welcome. These classes ARE for you if you want to get back in touch with your creativity. If you want to relax and enjoy some fun with art supplies. If you enjoy making and want to keep up with that practice. If you like to get out of the house, meet other fabulous gals and get together with like-minded women.
There are 8 spaces available for each night. Need at least 4 to hold the class.
Sorry, no refunds. If you can't make it, the spots are transferrable, so you could see if a friend wants your spot.
The projects can be done in an art journal or on separate paper.

Instructor: Kerry Molina
The Yellow Brick Road Studio’s camp “Joy of the Journey” is a one-of-a-kind, 5-day camp for women who are ready to dedicate some real time to relax, restore and renew. As women, we work and handle, juggle and manage…and we rock at it, don’t we? Now it is time to add in some true self-care.
At YBR, we believe that all of us have buried gifts inside. Like the characters in The Wizard of Oz, we often think we need outside sources to validate us. We tend to let this happen while we are busy taking care of everyone else. Let’s slow down enough to recognize inspiration, reconnect with our inner creative energy and enjoy the journey.
- The purposes of “Joy of the Journey:”
- Renewal and self-discovery
- Personal creative growth
- Creativity and artistic adventures
- Learning to trust the magic and embrace new possibilities
- Supportive community of like-minded souls
- Fun
- Positive vibes
- Relaxation and Pampering
Each day's experience is expertly designed to touch on each purpose listed above, but in a variety of ways so that every day is unique. Expect fun surprises along the way too!
“Joy of the Journey” is the perfect opportunity for someone wanting to tap back into her creativity, awaken her dormant self, get messy and make connections. Give yourself the gift of time and space to connect with your inner visions and express them in a supportive small-group environment.
- Activities you will do every day:
- make mixed-media art
- enjoy your lunch with the group on a lovely, decorated backyard patio (or inside with AC)
- receive a present or surprise
- connect and forge friendships with the other women and the instructors
- Other wonderful goings-on throughout the week:
- writing activities
- personal journaling based on prompts
- mini art history lessons
- swap shop
- potluck lunch
- winery picnic or restaurant outing (not included) or nature walk
- closing ceremony and gallery share
- and lots more fun surprises along the way
You are IN if you are paid!

THIS IS FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES THE WRITTEN WORD!
I have always loved to write. Stories, poems, journals, you name it. Fast forward to adulthood. I have a self-published children's picture book called Kaci Keeps Going. I wrote a monthly article for our local Lifestyle Magazine for a year. I've had several articles (about my artwork) published in national magazines. I am an avid journal-keeper. And I love to dabble in poetry and come up with my own quotes, phrases and affirmations for my artwork.
This meet-up will be for anyone who enjoys any kind of writing and wants to get together with like-minded people. Let's stay connected to writing. Let's commit to these dates so that we know we keep those creative pathways open and have a little accountability, too.
The class structure will include mini lessons and prompts throughout the class and time in between to write. These activities will span all types of writing to keep us fresh and trying new things. A mix of genres lets us learn about writing we haven’t tried before and may encourage experimentation. The goal is to unlock our creativity with words. There will be optional sharing/feedback built in to every session as well. BYO...anything you want to eat, drink, share!
BYO...notebooks and writing paraphernalia! Often you will receive handouts that you can keep.

What the heck is a "masterboard?"
A masterboard (did I make that up or is it a thing? No idea.) is a large piece of paper that you decorate and then cut up to make smaller projects. In this class, we will decoupage it and use rubber stamps on it. We won't be able to make all the things in the photo here. But we will definitely make some tags and mini books.
