It's a Mixed Media 2022 with Creative JumpStart and Wanderlust

Make creating art a priority in 2022 with these two fabulous courses.

One will jumpstart each day during January and one will send you to your art journal each week.

Creative JumpStart is curated by Nathalie Kalbach and I am one of the instructors. 

Creative JumpStart is for everyone!

When you join, you’ll receive tips to tackle each lesson based on your personality and personal goals. 

To get you prepared, let's figure what kind of Jumper you are right now!

In general, you will have a very successful JumpStart if you do the following:

Commit – Carve out time for your creativity.

Join Our Community – Be an active participant in the CJS22 forums. The forums are your space

to interact with other Jumpers and instructors. You can share your work and be inspired by what

others are creating with one another.

Reward Yourself – Treat yourself to something nice to reward yourself when you complete a new

lesson.

Now, there are two types of Creative Jumpers in the world: CJS Explorers and Climbers.

CJS Explorers are new to the mixed media world, but they are excited about it nonetheless! They

join CJS to learn about new tools, materials, techniques, and to gain more confidence in their

abilities. We've heard from several Explorer alumni that the CJS experience was new and exciting

for them and that they loved learning various ways to make art.

CJS Climbers tend to be folks who have been mixed media artists for a while now. They have taken

tons of classes and tried tons of new things, but they are now finding themselves stuck in an

uncreative rut, or have hit a plateau. Climbers join CJS to cultivate their practices and take their

creative habits to another level. Past Climbers have reported that taking CJS introduced them to

new artistic techniques.

No matter where you are in your artistic journey, the CJS22 workshop has plenty of lessons

available for you to get inspired, learn new techniques, and jumpstart your creativity!

Learn more about CreativeJumpstart and sign up for the next cohort - starting January 1st!

Sign up before December 31st to save $10 and get Early Bird Pricing of $69.

Wanderlust is curated by Kasia Avery and I am one of the instructors.

Are you craving a year full of mixed-media celebrations? Would you like to dive into the freeing process of creating art alongside me and other Teachers on Wanderlust 2022? 

Wanderlust2022 is 57 mixed-media lessons from experienced teachers, all downloadable and yours to keep forever. Plus handouts, community, and a private group.

If you act before December 24th you can get it for $140, that's $35 off the regular price.

Enjoy!

Continued education is how we grow. 
I buy this Bundle every year because I always find value and bits of information that help me as an artist. I like being introduced to new teachers. As I perused the list of classes today, I wasn’t even through the first twenty when I found several I want to explore. 
#8 Leslie Lambert on perspective studies 
#9 Malcom Dewey on moving from acrylics to oil
#14 Roben-Marie because I love everything she does
Yep, I earn some money off this 

which is one way I make my income. 
And yep, I still bought it because I believe in education 

and I always will. 
It’s what I do and who I am.

Seth Apter and I reveal StencilClub for November 2021

Hello!

I am mashing it up for StencilClub with one of my favorite people.

• The mini mask is all about a bit of chaos contained in a circle.
• The small stencil, well, you may have a decision to make with this one. Cut the shape out from its square container or leave it be and allow the funky corners to pop with color or negative space.
• The large stencil features movement on a grand scale with its swooping lines, crosses, dots, and fat hash marks.

These stencils ship to StencilClub members on the 15th of November and that same day members will get the exclusive technique video by me and Seth along with a PDF. Both are downloadable.

And this month I have a bonus project for members!

Are you ready to have some fun? Oh good. See you in StencilClub!

Psst!

Want to purchase StencilClub as a gift for the special artist in your life?

Email john (at) stencilgirlproducts.com with the date you want to begin and the giftee's mailing and email addresses and he will invoice you for a 6 or 12-month gift membership.
