Here’s what Anna-Maria Wolniak says about her class : 

«During each of these 4 weeks of class, I will focus on different techniques and issues. I will show you how to create a subtle layout using a specific range of one colour, and, on the other side, how to compose a bold page in a bright colour palette. I will also combine 2 step-by-step mini albums with instructions! One of them will be an answer on a common problem - how to arrange a lot of big photos in one album; and the second will be like a box with little chocolates - funny and original. All of these projects are combine on a various palettes and, in all of them, I will be teaching different mixed-media techniques which can be used in your day-by-day creations. I hope I made classes full of inspiration where you find a lot of answers on your mixed-media questions.

A little bit about Anna-Maria Wolniak

I am a little, Renaissance person who, by a total coincidence, has found herself in the middle of scrapbooking world. I live in central Poland. In terms of education, I studied in the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. I'm a mother of a 6-year-old son, a wife to a wonderful and terribly handsome man, and owner of a cosy, though tiny, flat on the 7th floor of a skyscraper.

I am a lifelong mixed-media artist who has taught many classes. I worked with many top manufacturers (Prima Marketing, Lily Bee, Color Conspiracy, Chic Tags, Freckled Fawn, SODAlicious) and now I am a member of Studio Calico creative team. I am also a coowner and a designer in a Polish scrapbooking company - I {lowe} SCRAP. A few years ago, scrapbooking was only a part of my artistic activity, but quickly it developed as one of my passions, and quickly began a way of life. One thing that haven't changes is that I'm still doing it for pleasure.

Because I got to see Anna-Maria Wolniak's projects for this class, all I can say is WOW! This girl has amazing talent!

Price : 40€ for 4 projects (2mini albums & 2 layouts) : that is only 10€ for each workshop!

This class is in english.
