Artist Trading Cards Club with Elaine - Expired
$184.00 plus Sales Tax
In this class students will have the opportunity to use a vast variety of materials and art techniques to make their miniature art.
Class Full
The concept of miniature pieces of art in a trading card format was the brainchild of Swiss artist M. Vänci Stirnemann. Limited only by its size of 3.5” x 2.5”, children and adults alike, create art to collect, trade or share.
Recently, our cards were shared with children in Guatemala! As a card enthusiast, I have traded my art cards both nationally and internationally.
In this class students will have the opportunity to use a vast variety of materials and art techniques to make their miniature art. Some cards may pop up, spin, open, or surprise. We will collage, sew, sculpt, fold and weave a card collection that will represent a wide spectrum of creativity. In addition to a class “project” card, students will always have the opportunity to experiment with materials and design their own cards. The number of cards you can make is restricted only by the time available. Students will receive a binder and protective card sheets to store their work.
Session content varies so projects will be fresh to both new and returning students!

Elaine has also received certification as a social worker, specializing in child care. Most recently she completed training as a sign language interpreter.
“Traditionally, folk art was created by people who did not even have a word for art in their culture. Art was simply what people did. It was a part of being human. My classes foster this philosophy in a contemporary setting. Folk art often has a practical purpose or meets a specific need. Many of my classes utilize found objects and recycling, reflecting our society’s need to conserve and repurpose”
