Vicky P inspired ATC at Paperific

The Mixed Media Art team are excited to be heading back to Melbourne Paperific Expo – 26, 27 & 28 August 2022 at Flemington Racecourse, Victoria Australia for three days of papercrafting delight!

Come along and create this layered ATC featuring our new range Create Happiness by Vicky Papaioannou and Stamperia in our *free* Make and Take class.

Just because an ATC (Artist Trading Card) is small (2.5″ x 3.5″) doesn’t mean it can’t have loads of mixed media dimension. You will learn several mixed media techniques, using stamps, stencils, inks, volume paste, glue, die cuts and more to create this gorgeously laid ATC.

Sign up for the free* ATC make & take at the Mixed Media Artist stand at Paperific expo. Sessions every half an hour across the weekend!

  • Note: Entry fee into the Melbourne Paperific Expo is required

As we launch into 2014, a huge range of online art classes have been opened up! At Mixed Media Art, we are often asked about finding local mixed media classes. With access to the internet, ALL of these classes are local – right in your own home!  I love looking through all of these classes, watching their inspiring videos and reading through the activities. To help you choose one, or two, here are the Top 3 Mixed Media Art Classes that have caught our eye!

Hello Soul, Hello Mixed-Media Mantras

Hello Soul Hello Mantras Online mixed media art class courseKelly Rae Roberts has launched her Mixed Media Mantras course that will take you through creating your own mantra and then painting it into life! The course is split into three sections ~ Silencing the Noise * Unleashing your Joy * Trusting your Voice ~ and each one includes videos and access to the amazing community who are taking the class with you.

Kelly Rae tells us that you don’t need ANY painting experience but I’m sure your current mixed media skills will be enhances throughout the course. If you love Kelly Rae’s painting style and heart-felt words of encouragement, then the class will suit you.
