Dating back as far as ancient Egypt, scrolls were forms of long documents used prior to the codex and bound book. They were commonly used for record keeping, religious manuscripts and paintings. A scroll was often rolled up and stored away or displayed hung on the wall.
Inspired by ancient Tibetan tablets that were used to hold Buddhists chants and scriptures. This form of scroll were made of individual manuscripts often tied together or stacked.
Lisa will walk you through a scroll project that will resemble the structure and character of these tablets. This scroll will be constructed from a group of panels, individual decorated with gesso, paint, fabric scraps, collage and asemic writing.
They will then be fastened together so your scroll will be foldable to close and then easily open and hung to display on the wall.
You will also have the option to incorporate some of your favorite inspirational quotes or covert your scroll into a gratitude scroll by infusing the panels with the things you are grateful for.

Hi I'm Lisa!
I'm a professional mixed media artist and have been teaching a variety of mixed media workshops for the last several years. I have an extensive background in art & design. I'm a licensed therapist and creativity coach. So, I understand the ins & outs of the creative process. Especially what it means on a personal level to be able to express yourself creatively.
I love helping students get passed the obstacles getting in the way of their personal artistic journey. With an encouraging and safe space, I help them uncover their true creativity and discover that they ARE an artist.
Mixed media is the perfect medium that allows you the freedom to get messy and explore what organically unfolds. You’ll be surprised at what you can create when you're given the permission to not have it be perfect and to PLAY!
In my courses, I share my experience and knowledge working in mixed media and the different techniques that can make your pieces rich with layers and dimension. I give you the basics for the different techniques and then encourage you to follow your own creative intuition.
I hope you have fun & enjoy the course.
