FOLK ART

2014 SCHEDULENOW AVAILABLE

SEMINARShe culmination of our year of planning is the presentation of the schedule for the new year. We look forward to painting with you in 2014!

Most of our classes are held at our studio in Eureka, a small coastal community centered amongst the towering redwoods of Northern California. We also have two classes in Boise, ID in June 2014. For Eureka classes, we provide transportation to and from the airport. Several motels and a variety of restaurants are located nearby. You will be responsible for making your own motel reservations. Upon acceptance, you will be sent a seminar packet that will include a list of motels, rates, phone numbers, list of students, etc. If you wish to take more than one class, a $100.00 deposit is required for each first choice class requested. Seminars close quickly, so please list a second or third choice if possible. All class openings will be filled on a first come, first served basis. If your chosen selections are full, we will place you on the waiting list and send your entire deposit back to you. Once accepted, deposit(s) are non-refundable. The balance of your seminar fee will be due two months prior to your class date. We realize how important certain classes and dates can be to you. Those of you that are applying for multiple seminars we ask that you please list them in order of importance to you. Also, please list your friends that you will be attending with. Send the application in as fast as you can - and remember, if you are on the waiting list, there are always cancellations. The nearest airport is the Eureka/Arcata airport. The airport is located approximately 13 miles north of our studio in Eureka. United Airlines provides service all year to the airport. United offers flights through San Francisco and Sacramento. If you would like to be picked up at the airport, we

will arrange for “Door to Door” airport shuttle service to pick you up and take you to your hotel. We will also arrange for them to take you back to the airport for your departing flights. When your flight arrives, just tell them your name and that you are with Jo Sonja’s and you are on your way!

Lastly, from all of us here, we appreciate the interest you have shown in our seminar program. Thank you for your suggestions and your support- we hope to see you in 2014

Class Dates - 2014Jan 27 - Jan 31 (Monday - Friday)

Instructor: Jo Sonja Jansen MDA, VGMClass Fee: $475.00Class Fee Includes: All paints and mediums used during instruction.

We start the year with our search for that illusive treasure that we call inspiration. Just being together begins the search, but activities and technique ideas challenge our brush. You’ll receive a list of items to bring (carefully chosen to pass security check points) and supply list. Artists are asked to draw in their sketchbook a page of stylized apples and a page of stylized people. We will work on these ideas as well as a recently discovered old technique for antiquing involving the use of a potato. A sack of potatoes will be furnished

By popular request we are pleased to be teaching this class once again in 2014.

This spectacular wood piece is available once again by Larry Pickett. We chose to use Larry’s pieces as they are truly one of a kind heirloom quality reproductions. Come join the party with Alice, the Cheshire Cat, Queen of Hearts, Hare, and the Mad Hatter on this fun, whimsical tea time bombay box. The whole gang is delightfully done in soft color washes on this beautiful tea box. Pink Tulips, blue-green leaves and a soft white rabbit romp across a robin’s egg blue sky.

Class Fee Includes: Patterns, instructions, painting surface, all paints and mediums used during instruction.

It is time for another triptych and as we look forward to the holiday season I take great joy in preparing to celebrate this season with another painting of worship and praise. Our first thought was to paint the piece icon style but also considering an early church style or illuminated manuscript style. So we will see what happens and share pictures as soon as we have some. May we take this opportunity to wish you all the joys of the holidays and a happy new year!

These photos are not the design. A new design is being done in a style similar to what is shown.
