| I love to teach and would love to come to your store, private group, school, association, quilt group, museum or home to teach a specially selected class for you. My classes can be tailored to scrapbookers, fine art painters, calligraphers, quilters, wearable artists, artist book creators, clay artists, printmaker's, or any other specialty group. FEE SCHEDULE: I charge $60 per person, per day for a six hour class. The minimum is $600 per day. I often exceed the six hours since I am so enthusiastic, I want to get that last technique in before I leave. I require transportation costs to and from the teaching venue. That would include shuttle costs to and from the airport and round-trip airfare to the teaching location. Airport meals will also be charged if I have a long layover before arriving. If I drive to your location, the cost is $.45 per mile. If you are located in another state and I drive to the location, I will work with you on the mileage cost. I require housing in a clean, comfortable hotel, motel or private home. If I stay in a private home, I would need a separate bedroom and bathroom and privacy to relax after teaching. I require three meals per day, including dinner the night before I teach and breakfast the day of departure. I will work with you if you are a small group and need help with my pricing. Please call me at: (818) 788-6730 or email me at: sherrillkahn@impressmenow.com to inquire about having me come and teach for you. I WOULD LOVE TO TEACH YOUR FOR YOUR GROUP!!! |
PAINTING PIZZAZZ: THIS IS MY MOST POPULAR CLASS
Painting Techniques from A to Z: This class can be up to five days in length. It is
best taught as at least a two day class since there is so much information that it
needs more than one day. Each day is very intensive with extensive
demonstrations and hands on experiences. The painting techniques can be
created on any porous surface such as fabric, illustration board, cardstock, wood,
leather, etc. Each student will leave class with a variety of techniques to use in
their creative endeavors. I teach: sponging, rubber stamping, simple printmaking
techniques, resist techniques, glazing techniques, stenciling, wet into wet
techniques, creating textured surfaces for painting, using alternative tools, and
much, much more. This class can be for all groups since the techniques are
applicable for scrapbookers, calligraphers, fine artists, fabric artists, crafters, etc.

MINI QUILTS:
This is a really fun class since we create
small wall hangings using painted fabric as
the base and then adding additional painted
fabrics, commercial fabric, a variety of
painting techniques, paper collage,
embellishments, rubber stamping, buttons,
beads, ribbons, and anything else that we
wish to use. We can do hand sewing, use a
sewing machine, glue things or not glue
things, and push the limits to create stunning
one of a kind small quilts.

DYED AND PAINTED SILK SCARVES:
This is a very easy and fun class. The techniques that we use to dye the
scarves are very simple since we use Jacquard's Dye-na-flow. The paint heat
sets with an iron and it creates gorgeous patterns on the silk. To embellish the
scarves, applique, beads, more paint, buttons, ribbons, and any other
embellishment can be used. This can be a one or two day class.

MIXED MEDIA TECHNIQUES:
I love teaching this class since
there are so many possibilites. We
draw, we paint, we do prints, we do
collage, we use paper, we use
fabric, we use unusual
embellishments, we sew, we glue,
we rubber stamp, and on and on.
Because it is mixed media, the
media is up to you. I send the
supply list and then you decide if
you want to start with a large piece
of fabric or paper. You might want
to use wood, or leather. It is all
mixed media. I can gear a class to
just one media. It is up to you. I
will customize the class for your
needs. You will love this class.

CREATIVE DIGITAL IMAGERY:
This is one of my more recent classes. I
am having the best time taking photos
and then completely changing them in
easy free programs. I print them,
distress them, paint them, add rubber
stamping to them, use oil pastels,
crayons, and colored pencils. I print the
images on fabric, cardstock, textured
fabric pieces, fabric with Golden digital
image grounds, Jacquard's three inkjet
fabrics, painted paper, and anything else
that can go through the computer. This
is a really fun class because you learn to
push the envelope with your images.
One day is okay, but two days are best.

PRINTMAKING:
I am fascinated with printmaking.
There are so many possibilities
with printmaking techniques. In
this class we will do one or all of
the following techniques: silk
screening, thermofax printing,
gelatin printing, styrofoam plate
printing, fun foam printing, or
Dorland's wax printing. This
class can be from one to five
days. It is best to concentrate on
one printmaking technique per
day. I can customize the class
for your needs.

STENCILING TECHNIQUES:
I love to do stenciling. Again, it can be on
any porous surface. In the example on the
left, I used a large playing card from the
dollar store, an x-acto knife, and self
healing mat to create the stencil. We can
also use punched shapes for stencils,
Cuddlebug cut outs, commercial stencils,
or any other item that has an opening in it.
I often use sequin waste, netting, snow
fence, needlepoint canvas, and freezer
paper shapes. As you can see the
possibilities are endless. Let me
customize a class for your group.

NEEDLE FELTING:
This is a relatively new class for me
but I am hooked on the technique.
Again, the possibilities are endless.
The example on the left was done
with a dyed silk scarf that I cut apart
to use as a base. I added additional
needle felting silk pieces, yarn,
roving, and sewing. I needle felt by
hand with the Clover needle felting
tool and brush. I needle felt by
machine with the Baby Lock 12
needle machine. The Clover tool
allows intimacy and the Baby Lock
lets you felt layers and layers of
fibers. Both are delightful. I will
customise a class for you. This
class can be one or two days.

CREATIVE EMBELLISHMENTS:
This is a really fun and very popular
class. We create everything from
air-dry clay pieces, to shrink plastic
pieces, to wrapped chenille pipe
cleaners, to embossed fun foam, to
fabric cord, to tyvek pieces, to wire
beads, to fabric motifs, and many more
wonderful 3 dimensional
embellishments. The class can be
geared to a specific projects such as
bracelets, necklaces, or to add
embellishments to purchased books.
We can embellish purses, wooden
boxes or any other surface of your
choice. I will customise this class for
your needs.

COLORED PENCIL TECHNIQUES:
I taught colored pencil techniques
for thirty years in the public
schools. I have spent thousands of
hours doing colored pencil and can
see its use in every imaginable
creative project. It is being used on
digital images, fabric quilts and wall
hangings, in fine art, mixed media,
and more. I will teach total novices
how to use colored pencils. My
pencils of choice are Faber Castel
since their quality is excellent and
they have a huge range of colors. I
can create a special class for your
needs from beginner to advanced
techniques.

CREATIVE BOOKS: I started making books years ago. I had no idea how to do
it and this was my first book. I took painted watercolor pieces, handmade paper,
some cord, cardstock for the cover, and copy paper for the pages. I was in a
motel room, so I used scissors to cut the pages and cover. I did have a ruler, so
just purchased. It was pure bliss, and I have made over a hundred handmade
books since that moment, years ago. This can be a one day class or multiple and
inside pages. Again, this class can be customized for your needs. We can use
fabric, paper, or other material to make the books.
