Have you ever tried Iris Folding? It is a paper-crafting technique that involves taping thin, folded strips of paper (or fabric) in a spiraled, overlapping pattern to fill a shaped cutout. This class will teach you the technique while creating a beautiful piece of art you can send as a greeting card or frame as a 5X7" or 8X10" pop of spring in your home. (frames are not included).  The picture below is only an example-- you will choose your own colors with a variety of solid templates. The possibilities are endless so start imaging how yours will look now! While the vase is the main focus of the class, you will leave with a few other handmade items not shown.

All supplies will be provided for $10 payable to the instructor at the start of the class; however, if you have a heavy, stationary tape dispenser bring it with you.

Deep down I'm still a Louisiana girl-- but Georgia has been my home since 1992. My BA degree was in elementary/ special education, M.Ed in Curriculum & Instruction and Ed.S in Arts Integration. I loved elementary-aged, but after moving to the high school level, I worked there for 14 years. After retiring and moving to Blairsville four years ago, I taught GED classes at the Detention Center through NGTC.  

I began "creating" anything I could around the age of 6. I can remember making cat beds out of kleenex boxes and popsicle sticks. I designed my own Barbie clothes and made my own outfits in high school. 

The hardest question to answer is "what type of art do you do?" I don't knit. I don't crochet. But I like painting, wood crafts, papercrafts, sewing, mixed media projects, sewing, quilting, and a lot more. 

My daughter and I craft together as Mumsy & Me Creations, LLC when we have time. Our creations are in Cable's Gallery, Keen Creations & The Farmer Mercantile. 

I'm excited to join ICL staff so I can share my two favorite talents: teaching and crafting!
