Kelly Kilmer Discount Pricing Ends Soon!

Kelly Kilmer Discount pricing good through Friday July 3rd!

Time is running out to save!


Kelly Kilmer, Mixed Media Art Journalist Extraordinaire, is one of our most favorite traveling artist who comes to teach at The Artists' Nook.

Kelly shows you many, many techniqes that can be used in books, journals, on a canvas or any art surface. Kelly likes to work in the book format but what you will learn is not limited to just the book.

As Mixed Media Artist, Venita Hawkins-Bird has learned from taking Kelly's workshops. Venita has used the techniques learned from Kelly, created her own style on her own surface. Venita likes to work on wood panels or canvas. Creating collaged, 3-dimensional pieces of art.

The other great thing about Kelly's workshops is she brings lots of paints, mediums, papers, pens, markers, and stamps to use in the workshop. This way you get to try it all out and see what you like before buying! Not many teachers do that!

Here is what Kelly will be teaching:

Transcribed w/ Kelly Kilmer (7/17)


Altered Photos Revisted w/ Kelly Kilmer (7/17)

Triptych Book w/ Kelly Kilmer (7/18)

Swatches: Little Paper Books w/ Kelly Kilmer (7/18)

Creativity Group and Changes to Thomas Ashman's workhsops

Hi all,

What a crazy time!
This time in my life is certainly a time to really focus on healing!

I have my mind wrapped around a lot of the divorce in a positive way of growing, learning and moving on. But I have realized the heart needs to heal properly too.

So I will be in and have been in "reserve-mode" at The Artists' Nook . Which means, I will focus on the Guest Artist workshops I have lined up for the year! And Fabulous ones, I do have to say!

And being there and providing for my 4 wonderful boys!

And if I am able to get into my studio to create or get myself on the workshop schedule, so be it. I am not going to put big demands on my time that will keep me from my boys and from my healing time!

With all that being said....

Take some time for yourself to create at:

Creativity Group on Saturday June 20th from 10 am - 5 pm
This is a day to get together with other artists in beautiful surroundings of The Artists' Nook and create. Join us!
