We are delighted that Gwen Lafleur has partnered up once more for an online class with Stampers Grove. 

The class will be held live from 4pm to (approx) 6pm UK time (or 12am - 2pm Eastern). The cost of the Class is £15.

In Masterful Minis, we'll paint, stamp, collage, and make marks and use a variety of mixed media layering techniques to create two different masterboards as the basis for both the structure and pages of our journal.

At the end of our two hours in class together, you'll be well on your way to having a completed mini accordion art journal filled with beautifully layered images and marks with room for photos, journaling, and more words and layers of embellishment.  


Upon registration and payment (handled by us at Stampers Grove,) you will receive a link to join our private Facebook group. (Allow 48 certainly if booking early). 
You will be able join in, meet, and interact with other students. 

The live, 2 hour class will be taught through a Facebook Live video in our private classroom.

Work along with Gwen and ask questions via posts and comments.

Learn 2 techniques for creating masterboards as you make the components for your mini art journal.
Videos, questions, comments, and projects are available indefinitely. We have no plans to remove. Certainly at least 6 month after the original class date. So you can re-watch later - as often as you'd like!

Share photos of your in-progress and finished projects for feedback from me and other class members.
