Santa Fe Workshops
I offer small (5-6 people) workshops in my Santa Fe studio six or more times a year upon request. I also will work one-on-one if that works better for you.

Classes
My ten week mixed media class at Valdes Art Supplies in Santa Fe, NM starts in the beginning of October. I teach fall, winter and spring classes there. We cover surfaces, image transfers, demented gold leaf, aging, finishes and ephemera resources. The class is a great deal of fun and there is a great deal of sharing.

Demos
Several times a year, I give demos on both image transfers and surfaces at Artisan's in Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico. Check Artisan's web site for demos and classes by many artists.

Thanks collagegodess, this is interesting and I want to comment on how good it is to find useful information like this on you tube. curiously even though i have done a BA and MA fine art course in london , which included plenty of time spent in the printmaking departments of Norwich school of art and Royal college of art, this technique was never discussed or even mentioned. I'd like to ask if you've tried this successfully on canvas/cotton duck, either primed and unprimed?

Thank you so much! This looks like great fun! Also, you're voice is reminiscent of Stevie Nicks' -- really beautiful!
