Sally Penley Mini Masterpieces Class on Zoom!

 

Sally Penley is bringing back the Mini Masterpieces class on Zoom!! The workshop for this popular and fun, 5-layer process for creating little art masterpieces will be held on Saturday, October 17. These are great for holiday cards! Participants will receive 6 card masters for displaying their little gems. No art experience necessary. 

Hey, this is Dianne, and you may know, this class is my favorite class ever. I have made MANY cards using my Mini Masterpieces that I learned how to make from Sally. If you have not taken this class, please consider doing so. I recently took a book class from her on Zoom and absolutely loved it! Also, I do recommend if you don’t have all the materials you need for the class, definitely consider paying the $20 extra (plus postage) for her to send them to you. It’s very worthwhile. Check out the information on this flyer.

You can also die cut your Mini Masterpieces, as I love to do! For lots of examples of Mini Masterpieces on my blog, click here and please scroll down. Here's one of my favorites. You will not regret taking this class.

Sally Penley Classes Including Mini Masterpieces!

Hi everyone! Even though Art 'n Soul is closed, we still want to let you know about some amazing classes here in Olympia. If you are local to Olympia, or can travel here, Sally Penley has a fabulous roster of classes coming up. She is a super talented graphic artist who has been doing beautiful calligraphy for over 40 years. Sally teaches at her studio in downtown Olympia at Bucks 5th Avenue Loft and Gallery at 209 5th Ave SE, Olympia.

Did you see our post with the fabulous Mini Masterpiece cards and using the gorgeous Sally Penley calligraphy stamps? If not, you can see it here. Sally has a class coming up this Sunday, August 26, showing how to make those Mini Masterpieces, and if you have never taken a class from Sally, then you owe it to yourself to do so. If you have taken a class from her, then you know how good they are. Sally taught at Art 'n Soul a number of times, and we highly recommend her classes. 

Here is Sally's upcoming schedule of classes. She also has an amazing class called Fun with Sumi coming up on Thursday the 30th. You don't have to already know how to do these things, Sally will show you, and you will have a fabulous time.

If you are interested in any of Sally's classes, you can email her at sally.pen@me.com and she will send you a flyer and sign up form for whichever class you are interested in. Treat yourself! You will be glad you did.

Updates and Little Villages

We have so much to tell you! The weekly newsletter will be out soon, but we can't do as many photos for it as we can here, so we wanted to do a post about happenings at Art 'n Soul, and we will do more posts like this in the future. We also do regular Facebook posts, so be sure to Like our page.

First of all, YES we ARE having Recycled Rubber on July 2nd (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) and July 3rd (12:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.). We have a ton of things, so please come to see us!  WE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, JULY 4TH.

We got a Penny Black order in yesterday. Here's a picture of some things that are in. If you shop with us regularly, you know the drill...hurry in or call if you are interested in any of these items. They have a tendency to vanish very quickly! Oh, and that sailboat die? We had 4 extras, and only one left.

We got in the mini MISTIs again, and like always, they are selling very fast. If you have been wanting one, please come in or call us right away!

We also got a shipment of some RubberMoon stamps recently. Mainly we were ordering window and door stamps for the Inchie Arts class on July 9th," Little Villages", but we got in some additional stamps also, so please come and see. We are holding the window and door stamps for the class day, but Kae Pea of RubberMoon made a fabulous sample to show you what you can do with these and with Inchie Artboard squares and kits.

These windows and doors are so adorable!

Lisa Lee of Inchie Arts is making Artboard kits that will provide pieces to make the most amazing vignettes! These will also be available at class time. 

Even if you are not lucky enough to get a space in this class, you can still come in and purchase the stamps and kits.

Just yesterday we got Lisa's samples for the class

Just like many of the things we are going to show you in this post, these look so amazing in person!
