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.

If you spritz it with water and keep rubbing that white paper will eventually come off. It can take a few times for it to work completely.
