Greetings from the Prairie!!!
I've been playing with earth pigments, ochers, and clays since I was a little girl. I painted every piece of fabric, leather, paper, even bones, with the various colors of the earth that I found in my parents garden, or in the creek behind their house. And now I get to share this passion for the Earth's colors with you!
Please read all the information prior to purchasing as no refunds can be given.

Class Description:
During this Self Paced Online class I will show you how to combine clay, ochers, and pigments with mixed mediums to create beautiful one-of-a-kind art cloth and papers.
You will be encouraged to explore your world for found color and materials to color your cloth and papers in such a way as to make them unique to you alone!
You will soon discover that I do not give projects, like many classes and books offer.
Instead I give assignments.
Projects are finite.
Assignments are a life long quest of learning, exploring, experimenting, and finally growth. I see assignments as a valuable process to my studio practice, and I am very excited to share my process with you!
Each week there is a new assignments where you create one-of-a-kind art cloth and papers using both found and purchased earth pigments, ochers, and clays.
Each Assignment will be made up of four components:
- Instructional Videos
- Technique Videos
- Inspiration
- And finally a Challenge to instill curiosity and growth.
All videos are downloadable so that you will have them for life.
The instructions are also downloadable as a PDF, so that you will have them for life.
There will be a special bonus lesson at the end of this class.
