The Boise encaustic and gel plate workshops are full! My workshop partner and host, Tilley Bubb, is taking names for a wait list in case anyone falls off and, if you're interested, for future workshops!
If you're in the Portland, Oregon area, and are interested in a workshop weekend like this, let me know and I'll see if I can't work on getting Tilley to come join us in Portland in the future!
If you're in the Hollywood area in Portland, Oregon USA, you miss Rumble and you're looking for alternative art experiences for your child, including camps and after school, here are some resources -
Nicole Harris took over a lot of my tools and materials from Rumble and her new studio is just up Sandy Blvd from our old studio. You can find her at:

Rumble is closed but I'm still creating and teaching and I hope to have some Portland pop-ups events to announce soon. Meanwhile, something amazing that's going to be super fun at the end of July - please share!

Friday will be our last day in the studio. If anyone is interested in the space, contact us at [email protected] and we'll pass it on to the landlord. It's a great space, a storefront with a bathroom, huge windows facing east, a three compartment sink and 220v (which a prior tenant ran a kiln on) in the back, on NE Cesar Chavez Blvd near the intersection of Broadway, Sandy and Cesar Chavez, right next to the James Beard nominated Gado Gado.
Another studio has been buying materials and supplies and a little of the furniture, everything left will be available for the free picking tomorrow starting at 1PM at 1805 NE Cesar Chavez. We have a big, brown corduroy sofa with accent pillows, changing table with pad, small student computer desk, a long wood sales counter with storage in the back, a shorter glass top and front sales counter, and an arched reception counter, two 6" folding tables left, a nice yellow chest of drawers, black end or night tables with drawers, and a lot of miscellaneous odds and ends to make things with.

The bad news: we will be closing the studio at the end of February. It's been two years, we've met a lot of wonderful people and amazing students we love but this is far as we can keep it going. If anyone else would like to get this space and make their own creative project, contact us and let us know.
The good news: we will be hosting two events with painter Alexys Henry. Google her, she's everywhere and you can find more about her and see her portfolio on her website, https://bristledesignstudio.com/.
The first event is a 21+ watercolor workshop this Friday, January 18 at 6PM at Rumble, with adult liquid refreshments.
