What are you doing on Tuesday and Saturday?
When you think of “Tuesday mornings,” I hope you think of me. More to the point — I hope you’ll join me!
Winter quarter at Kirkland Arts Center was so much fun I’ve agreed to teach “Collage On (AND Off) the Wall” again during Spring quarter.
Sign up and you’ll learn how to unite a variety of colors and textures in small collages as well as assemblages. Never heard of “assemblage?” Register here to find out more about this eight-week class. Can’t commit to all eight? Short on time?
I got you: a three-week intensive class on Saturdays. I’m partnering with North Seattle College Continuing Education to teach “Figurative Collage: All in the Family.” In this class, we’ll focus more on creating artworks that center your favorite aunt, grandpa or another relative.
Class sizes at both venues are limited, so now’s the time to get on it and register. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
The plan for 2022
[dusts off laptop] Hey! Didja miss me?
I missed you… but I had some serious thinking to do about my blog. Not everyone needs a weekly update, so I’m gonna do a few things differently in 2022.

You’ll still hear about the big art news: If you follow me on social media, you know I stayed busy with speaking engagements, commissions and media interviews, in the midst of making new work. I’ll keep updating you as things come up.
But not every week: I’m just going to post about said events and shows as they happen, or are scheduled. So you might hear from me on a Wednesday and a Friday, or maybe just on Tuesday. The best way to get details: sign up for newsletter posts on my home page.
When I work with friends and partners: During the first half of 2022, I get to collaborate on a public art project with old and new friends! I’m also leading collage art workshops at the Kirkland Arts Center, as well as North Seattle College in the spring.

First up is my “Collage, Off AND On the Wall” class. Ask me for details: I’m send them directly to your inbox in the next post. Looking forward to 2022 with you!
The butterfly effect in art class
Who knew bugs could be so much fun? Clearly, the first people to sign up for the online art class I co-hosted — and maybe you too, if you can join us…
Work by Eva Rohr, “Bugs!” class artist
The students in Carla Sonheim’s “Bugs!” class really took to the collage process, and some of the (grown-up) kids let me share their work. Some you’d find in nature…

Work by artists who took “Bugs!” as a group
… and other bugs live only in the artist’s imagination. I’m told this one started out as a monarch butterfly. Looks like it evolved!

Here’s the best part: “Bugs!” is open to new students, and now at a 15% discount! (All the online classes are 15% off too, so feel free to splurge.)

What are you going to make? An Atlas moth? Maybe a blue morpho?
