SURFACE DESIGNS

The June 8 NORBAG workshop will be taught by Michele Kamprath and Sandy Vrem. Surface design techniques will be used to decorate a variety of papers that can then be used as decorative elements in books, cards, collage and more. We will learn four different ways to decorate papers using crayon batik, crayon rubbings with texture plates and stencils, balloon printing, and combing through acrylic paint. Check out these beautiful examples and come prepared to have fun creating different designs.
