In this class, participants will create a three-dimensional bookmark using watercolor and ink. The bookmark will stick out of the top of a book and can be designed to look like a butterfly perched on top of your book, a flower blooming from the pages, or a small bug crawling along the pages. Participants are welcome to follow examples or create their own simple design. This class is beginner-friendly and focuses on learning basic watercolor techniques and adding ink details. The goal is to make something fun, creative, and usable. No prior art experience is needed.

Rocks are common canvases for mandala artists to paint on. In this class we will paint a mandala on a rock using dots, swooshes, teardrops and other techniques.
I will supply the rocks (which I cast myself), paint, tools and glaze and other materials for finishing your rock. (If you were part of our first mandala class, please bring your tools.)
It will be helpful to have taken the first class but newcomers are also welcome.
