ARTS AND CRAFTS WORKSHOPS

Whether you need a program that’s holiday oriented or one for no special occasion at all, Elinor can offer something that will delight the participants. Her repertoire includes a broad range of projects and techniques, including decoupaging, embossing, rubber stamping, glass painting, chalking, collaging, and punching.

How about one on decorating candles with photographs? Or making petal-shaped boxes out of hand-decorated paper. . . creating stunning gold-embossed pendants from pieces of slate . . . . making greeting cards with messages that pop up or pull down? Participants will create items that are both decorative and practical.

Elinor suggests that at least two hours be allowed for each class and that class size be limited to twelve participants. We can also do scrapbooking or altered books, but these are best done in three or four sessions. Participants should bring a ruler, pencil, eraser, and other tools to class, depending on the specific project
