Welcome, everyone!

This is where we will meet to discuss any problems or questions you have regarding your Pawprints Floorcloth project. Meet here on Monday and Tuesday nights, April 12 and 13 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Use the “comments” section to post your questions and I will respond Monday and Tuesday night.

This section is only available to those who signed up for the class. It will remain on the website for one month (as will the videos) following the class so that you can continue to ask questions and discuss your project with the others in the class.

If you’d like to introduce yourself to others in the class, please comment with your name and where you’re from. It’s always interesting for others to get to know their classmates!

Have fun. I’ll be talking to you on Monday night!

The next floorcloth class at Canvasworks is filling up fast, but there’s still time and space for a few more students. You must register by noon on Wednesday, April 7, so we can be sure to get your floorcloth to you in time for the class.

Please take note that the pricing for this class has changed- in your favor!!!

Now the base-coated floorcloth is included in the class price.

The next Canvasworks online workshop has been scheduled for Monday and Tuesday evenings, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm EDT, April 12 and 13, 2010.

Here’s how it works:

When you register for the class ($60) you will receive a blank florcloth which is base-coated in Waterbury Cream ($50 value) a stencil sheet with diamond, leaf and pawprint motifs and a materials list for the other supplies you’ll need. On the day of the class you will receive, by email, directions for how to paint the piece and you will be directed to YouTube videos which demonstrate the techniques used – Painting the border, laying out stencil placements, how to cut the stencil and then how to stencil the design. During the two hours each evening on the 12th and the 13th, you can ask questions via the blog and Lisa will answer them as they are received. Everyone gets to see everyone else’s questions and answers, so all participants learn from each other. If you prefer to use an alternate motif, such as a flower, instead of the pawprint, you can certainly do that, but you’re on your own to make or purchase the stencil for that. Colors as shown for the design will be indicated in your materials list. if you would like to use alternative colors, that’s totally up to you too.
