Pan Pastels are taking the craft world by storm, so Create On Ormond is holding a Masterclass for you to learn more....   "Pan Pastels are one of the latest must-haves for the crafter and mixed media artist; they have been well and truly embraced by the art and craft community because of their versatility and sheer  ease of use. Because these pastels are semi-transparent they blend and layer very easily allowing you to build up fabulous backgrounds for your cards, craft projects or art journals. They are a very forgiving medium  to work with: if you make a mistake you can simply rub it out with an ordinary eraser!" (Kate Crane) Cassie Bright will  teach you 5 different techniques that you can apply with the Pan Pastels, and you will leave the class with a mini tag book as a permanent reference..

Hello everyone it's been a while since our last blog and the reason being that  we have been very busy creating and organising wonderful and varied papercraft  classes for you to do.  Scrapbooking and craft in general has a funny way of bringing people together. Last week I met Ruth, a wonderful lady from Adelaide (my home town) and after chatting for a while we discovered we went to the same school at the same time, she was even in my brothers year!  Ruth started scrapping 13 years ago and had her own shop in Adelaide for 3 years. Due to health reasons she had to give the shop up and so continued her addiction to scrapbooking from home where she continues to teach. Ruth describes her style as Shabby Chic/vintage as she  favours everything old worldly and is drawn to colours tones and textures of this look and her other love is dimension..... Many of you have commented on our Mixed Media Canvas in the shop and would love to learn how this technique is accompli...

Thank you to all of you who took part in our school holiday programs. I thought I would let you see the great artwork done by these lovely girls at the Friday canvas class. Each girl had their own idea as to how they would decorate their canvas and as you can see by the photos they really  had some fun ideas...Thanks girls for a great day...
