Join Kristin in a mixed media papery menagerie. In this two-day class, we will be making zine-type books full of color, stitching, drips, art marks, folds, and creativity—paper pockets full of goodness! Our zine pages will be filled with exploratory drips and dribbles, stenciled or stamped, sewn fabric bits, art marks, collage, found words, ribbony sashes, and pieces of everyday magic. Let’s do our own storytelling in these little books. As we make our zines and fill the pockets, we will explore composition and the visual appeal, while having a mindful conversation about color. This class is suitable for all experience levels, as we will walk on the side of permission. Material Fee includes: XL paper, stencils, stamps, sewing machines, fabric dyes, pieces of rubber block for carving stamps, possibly cyanotype depending on weather.

Kristin Peterson is a third generation artist, originally from South Dakota. Kristin’s creative passion is inspired and supported by her husband and kids, all who encourage, critique, and promote her work.
Kristin is always exploring and expanding the creative depths of being an artist. She very much enjoys vintage collage work and mixed media. Kristin loves color and things that have a love-worn comfortable feeling-like an old favorite pair of jeans-coffee stained, patched, painted and well loved. She wants her art to project feeling and make people feel good while looking at it. Her style contains vibrance mixed with a little funk, which is sprinkled with discreet sensibility.
