Seth Apter at Inspirations

Seth Apter will be in-store for two 3 hours sessions! We caught up with him to find out what he had planned:

"New to mixed media? Or want to take your mixed media skills to the next level? Then one of my 3 hour workshops is perfect for you. Layer by layer, I will guide you through the process of creating dynamic art with depth, dimension and detail. Using gesso, acrylic paint and mediums, ink and collage, we will be buiding up a surface with techniques that create both actual and visual texture. Each class is designed to help you learn to embrace an approach to creativity that is all about freedom, embracing 'mistakes' and working without a plan. In the end, you will leave with a finished artwork and a variety of techniques that you can use for mixed media art or apply to your cards, scrapbooks and/or journals."

Book early as these places are sure to fill fast!

Seth is in the UK for a short while and only doing workshops at 3 stores!
