Check out what students are saying about my other workshops:
“This class is an absolute joy, made even better by the teacher’s vibrant energy and playful approach. She brings so much fun to each session that you can’t help but laugh and let loose, making it easy to stop taking art so seriously. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her guidance encourages you to dive in without overthinking. She’s an excellent teacher who strikes a perfect balance between instruction and freedom, inspiring us to enjoy every moment at the art table. If you’re looking to have fun, learn new techniques, and rediscover the joy in creating, this class is for you!”
“How FUN! Love this class and now I can’t wait to get into my studio and play with a mix of my supplies. Denise is such a great teacher!”
“I was so impressed with this class. It is packed with value and covers a range of skills. Denise shares multiple ideas for making snippets and clusters, along with a thorough review of different ways to create handmade journals. She also touched on various types of papers, glues, and art supplies, and where she sources a lot of it. I even picked up some color coordination tips just by watching the projects come together. I really appreciated that she included her own learning moments and pointed out what not to do—it made the experience feel real and relatable. It was also helpful to watch her go through the process of picking out fabrics and pieces to include. That was so authentic, rather than just having it all pre-planned and laid out. I almost felt like I was looking over her shoulder and found myself saying, “pick that piece. No, wait, that one! Now use that ribbon there!” Denise could have easily broken this content into multiple classes or referred students to her other journal-making classes for some of the sections, but instead, she offers it all in one amazing learning experience. Highly recommend!”
“Denise really breaks down how to study a master artist and apply his/her techniques to develop your own style. She is a phenomenal instructor with an incredible aesthetic sense. I hope that she will publish more master studies.“
“This class is short and simple, but that’s all it needed for this straightforward project. I use brayers on my gel plate all the time but hadn’t really thought to play with them as a painting tool on paper (I feel silly in hindsight). Denise is, as always, cheerful and clear in her explanations. And, FWIW, I loved this color scheme!”
“I LOVED this class!! And I love Denise’s fun and bubbly personality! GREAT CLASS and I would definitely recommend it!”
“One of the best collage classes I have taken. Lovely enthusiastic teacher, with lots of ideas and examples. Can’t wait to create my own and finally use some of the mountains of collage fodder I have already accumulated. Thank you so much”
“Your classes make me feel art-capable. Thank you!”
