3 day retreat in Maryland with Lesley Riley and Jane


Blue Mountain Retreat Center, in Maryland

BLUE MOUNTAIN NATURE JOURNAL Nature Sketching & Journaling in a Handmade Book with Jane LaFazio & Lesley Riley of The Red Thread Retreat

May 17-20, 2013 in Knoxville, Maryland This is one 3-day workshop where each day builds upon the next.
Day One: With Jane, we’ll wander outside, enjoying the beauty of our
 surroundings. We’ll gather flowers, fallen leaves and anything from
 nature that attracts us.
Jane will teach you (even beginners!) to confidently draw and paint in 
watercolor, as you chronicle your collection of nature. Then, we’ll look at
 our drawings and choose one to simplify and create a stamp.
day one
Day Two: We’ll continue with our nature theme, using our flowers, leaves, sticks, and gatherings to do some monoprinting on to our pages and then a bit of collage. We will monoprint on cloth for the covers of our journals.
day two
Day Three:  Lesley will lead you in creating a unique, expanding book structure in the morning. After lunch, we will continue with our nature theme, using our flowers, leaves, sticks, and gatherings to do some monoprinting on to our pages and then a bit of collage. We’ll compile our nature journals, weaving in twigs and rocks as we wish, and using red thread (of course!)we’ll bind and complete our Blue Mountain Nature Journal.
