New Year Goal Grid

January 22, 2023

2:30 - 4:30 PM

Yellow Brick Road Studio

8271 Shimmering Rock Road

Gainesville, VA


8 seats. If this class fills but there is more interest, I will open up another session. If you'd like me to teach this for you and your friends or family, contact me at kerryc627@yahoo.com.


Happy New Year!

In this class, you will create a grid that organizes your goals for the year into an artful grid. You can do this in your art journal, as I have, or as a separate piece to display near your workspace or in another spot where you'll see it often.


I believe in setting goals and also in writing them down. It is so helpful to be able to glance at these plans daily. And, of course, I want to make it purty!


All supplies included. Bring your art journal if you are doing it in there.


Feel free to bring snacks to share and make it into a new-year celebration!

Come and make the cutest Valentine's Day gift for your honey, your child, your friend, your mom, anyone!


This is a little, tiny deck of cards inside a cute plastic box, tied with unique beaded cord.


One side of the cards will be decorated as you wish. There will be lots of Valentine-y supplies to use. The other side will be painted lightly but be blank. Then you will be able to write a little something that you love about that person on each card!


A sweet, homemade gift!

Lyrics and Luster--March 10, 2023--6:00 - 8:00 PM


In this class, we will use song lyrics as our inspiration and use various art supplies to create a page or a piece. Please bring song lyrics that speak to you but I'll have some here as well. And we will explore several different media that give our work luster--from glittery pastes to shiny sprays.

Dupli-KITs--May 5, 2023--6:00 - 8:00 PM


Dupli-KITs means that, upon arrival, each student will receive a "kit" of elements that must be incorporated into their page or piece. One thing about art that is so much fun is that when given the same supplies and/or prompts, each person's art comes out completely differently. That's your personal creative muse at work! We will do this class occasionally on Girls' Nite Arts.

(This was recorded live but is still available.)


Your invitation to the private Facebook Group will be sent out to you when you register. There you will find the video!



So much fun! So many possibilities!


In this class we will play with the concept of positive and negative space. We will first make a background collage. Then we will create a focal point or new pattern with stencils, masks and paint. You will come away with a finished piece of artwork.


Your substrate (base of your piece) can be anything stiff enough to receive collage and paint. Heavyweight papers, cardboard, canvas, wood--anything you like.


Have your paper stash nearby! You are going to want to be able to pull from it to make the collage part. We will need lots of tiny pieces, so using up your scraps is perfect.



Pull up a glass of SOMETHING and let's (not) get together!

Supplies needed:

Substrate (see above)

Mod Podge or other gluing medium

Little bowl for your medium

Sponge brush

Paints-craft paint or acrylic

Virtual: The House That Built M



This class was recorded live, but you can still purchase it and follow along. Your invitation to the private Facebook Group will be sent out to you when you register. There you will find the video!


Technically, this is an art journaling project in that we will be doing some brainstorming, thinking, writing notes about a topic and then creating art that will use those ideas.


That being said, you can just do it as a fun and thought-provoking stand-alone project. No need for a journal.


The theme of the class is homes that you have lived in. After the lecture/brainstorming portion of the class, we will be making houses that can stand alone, be attached into an art journal or be made into an accordion style book.


Have lots of mark-making supplies nearby (paints, markers, pens, etc.) and your paper stash (patterned paper, magazines, stickers, etc.) nearby! You are going to want to be able to pull from it to decorate your houses.


You may want to pre-cut your house shapes. Just draw a simple house shape and cut out about 4 from stiff paper.


Also, you may want to bring a list of all of the addresses at which you've ever lived!

That's right! We will be letting the die indicate which step to do next on our abstract painting! Sometimes I'll roll mine and sometimes I'll call on someone in the class to roll theirs.


I'll get us going on the start of an acrylic abstract piece. Then we will roll the dice!


Each number on the die will be associated with a step we can take to continue the painting. Examples include: add some white to a color, add a circle, etc.


Then we will finish out our pieces together.
