Watercolor Travel Journaling in the Appalachian Mountains
January 28- February 3, 2024
John C. Campbell Folk School
Brasstown, NC
What a joy to be returning to the John C. Campbell Folk School, aka art camp for grownups, in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina! I'll be teaching one of my favorite workshops, travel journaling with pen, pencil and watercolors.
This is not your grandmother’s watercolor class! My motto is the quote from Alexander Calder, “Above all, art should be fun.” Emphasis will be on capturing a moment (like a traveler) rather than the perfection of a photo; we will build journal pages with multiple studies, text and vignettes. Lessons will include color basics, long looking and quick sketching, composition, collage and lettering. No experience needed to join in the camaraderie of group sketching!
Registration opens in the fall. For more information about the wonderful folk school go to https://www.folkschool.org/

Pattern, Paint & Paper!
in collaboration with The Delaware Art Museum and Winterthur Museum
Co-taught with guest artist Staci Swider and in collaboration with The Delaware Art Museum and Winterthur Museum, "Pattern, Paint & Paper" is an exploration of dynamic layers and exuberant color through mixed media painting and printmaking...plus field trips to and special curator tours of two acclaimed Wilmington museums!
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 5-7, 2021
9 am - 4 pm, with a lunch break
With inspiration from antique textiles, Pre-Raphaelite paintings and Arts and Craft movement motifs, Caroline and Staci will lead you through an intense (and joyful!) exploration of printed and painted patterns. Caroline’s printmaking prowess will guide original work with monotypes and carved stamps to make collage papers. Staci’s mixed media mastery will turn those papers into playful compositions. We will move back and forth between painting and printing while working on multiple pieces, building rich layers and experimenting with color. Any skill level welcome.
DAM members $300
