We leased a building and are opening soon. While the shelving is not in
yet, we are taking registration starting Monday, for summer camps .
This is not the complete list of classes, just the list of camp classes.
Each class will have multiple projects every day. For instance, our
henna camp will start out with a watercolor henna design painting, for
students to learn about the patterns and routes of henna design. The
next day they will practice their techniques while using the designs
decorating gourds. The next day we will work on space and composition
while painting (?TBA). The fourth day they will use craft henna (henna
paste without essential oils) to stain wood boxes with their designs. On
the last day they will practice henna on each other. There will be mini
lessons throughout, and hints about the tricks I have learned. Each of
our camps will build up the students skills, until the student has the
opportunity to show what they have learned in a final project. Each camp
has limited space. So let me know if you see one you want. We will be
adding a regular class schedule later on in the month. Make sure to
check back often because we have teachers coming to teach all kinds of
fun things! From Polly teaching sewing, crafter Karen Ledbetter
traveling from Idaho to teach doll making in our doll camp, to several
local jewelry makers and illustrators each teaching their own classes it
is going to be a full summer of arts and crafts.
Blank Pages will be launched with the grand opening! Stay tuned!

September Blank Pages- Memoirs
Blank Pages is series of writers workbooks each over a 100 pages long. The workbooks are designed as graphic organizers to help you get started writing, so that you aren't looking at a blank page. I hate starting on a blank page, so I have taken them away. There will be a total of 13 workbooks; one for each month of the year plus a thirteenth illustrator workbook. Each month features a different type of writing and does not have to be done in the month it designates. In fact we encourage you to break the rules and write in them when ever you want to. We aren't even going to release them on the right months.
Septembers will be the first to be released and will probably come out in two weeks in May. It is being edited now, so the countdown begins! A team of writers from 12 years old to 65 are exploring it's pages and practicing writing in it now, and it's not September! We are going to start displaying the pages we are filling out here. Scanning them in and letting you get a sneak peek at what the workbooks have to offer.
September is all about Memoirs. It is designed with three pages per day of the month giving writers multiple activities and prompts. With over 100 pages of writing activities you won't be able to complete it in a month. Good thing it doesn't have to be done in September.Each day has journaling space in addition to random prompts, activities, and writing quotes. Each week has at least one illustrating or art activity. After you work your way through the workbook, there are bonus pages in the back to help you format, revise, and edit so that you can finish at least one project each month. I have also listed my favorite writing sites and hints. Go ahead and steal the prompts off of pages we scan in to get you started writing. Just please don't take our stories. The workbooks are black and white and give writers room to doodle and fill them out. Remember that our sample pages are filled out by writers of every age and ability.
As a k-12 school teacher this workbook is written to the core standards and designed to be used in my classroom with students and in my critique and writing clubs with adults. Teachers we will be offering lesson plans and class disks if you want a format you can print out instead of individual workbooks, just let me know what you need.
