From Finnabair's list of classes:
Verdigris – fabric based collage with eye-catching finish
Do you ant to create really artsy, dimensional and grungy collage, but
you think you don’t have “suitable supplies?” That is not a problem! The
most important thing in creative process is using imagination. We are
surrounded by inspiring objects, which we can use for creating art of
different kinds. Try to look around – and you’ll find real treasures in
your own house!
During this workshop I will guide you to create your own mixed-media
canvas, starting with building layers using fabric and Art Extravagance
Sculpture Medium. We will make composition including my favourite set of
embellishments and a found object and next colour it all to get pretty,
verdigris and patina inspired effect. We will focus on such mediums
from my line as White Heavy Gesso, Heavy body Gel, Soft Gel and more. I
will demonstrate possibilities of mixing different Art Ingredients such
as Mica Powders, Fine Glitter, and Art stones to get the expected
results. We will build our projects step-by-step and you will see that
presented techniques are very versatile and be easily used on many other
projects. I'll share my experience with you and try to give you plenty
of information about tools and products used.
The teacher will supply all the paints, mediums needed to finish the
project (excluding the found object). This class is suitable both for
advanced and beginning students.
Class time: about 4,5 h

Beauty and the Beads - dimensional, dark mixed-media collage with amazing sparkle and shine.
---
What is the best about black colour? It helps other colours shine beautifully – especially if they contain some shimmer or glitter in them! With a little help of Black Gesso, Gels and Micro Beads you are able to create the most amazing, textured, iridescent collage – and this all in simple, easy to follow steps!
“Beauty and the Beads” is my idea how to use combination of art mediums, shimmering sprays, stencils, gels and – finally – beads and glitter in a creative way: first making a rich, deep textured background, then working on a dimensional, intriguing composition and finally adding breathtaking layers of delicate texture... all that based on my new line of Art Basics and Art Ingredients line of Prima products.
During this 4h long class you will not only create an amazing project you can hang on your wall but also learn a lot of inspiring techniques, discover possibilities of getting a custom look and combining the products to get the best results. I'll share my experience and will give you helpful tips about composition, colour choices and adding finishing touches. Are you ready to add some sparkle to your life?
All the elements, paints and mediums are provided – this project is suitable both for advanced and beginning students. The class may be taught as a collage composition with a photo or altered object.
Class time: about 4 h.
