Memory Box

This is not your grandmother's photo album!

Join me on Saturday August 18th when The Ink Pad in NYC hosts my newest workshop: Memory Box.



Think outside the box by going INSIDE the box and creating a unique, personalized time capsule for your memories. Everybody will start with the same, unadorned box and cover. You will be introduced to a series of mixed media, painting and collaging techniques to turn your box into a one-of-a-kind treasure.


Combining techniques from the worlds of mixed media, bookmaking, altered photography and scrapbooking you will then create a series of double-sided memory cards which will be stored inside your finished box.


Whether you chose to memorialize an event or an experience, design a showcase for your own photography or artwork, or create a personalized journal, you will leave with both a completely new way to document your memories and a series of techniques that can be applied to many different future projects of any kind.



Seats for the workshop are limited and must be reserved in advance. Click here to find out more information about the class and contact the Ink Pad at 212-463-9876 to register.

Seth, this is really a wonderful idea. I want to make one of these! I love the concept of documenting one event or passage or even theme. Imagine having a whole shelf of these boxes stacked and labeled and ready to dive into on a rainy day!

I may not get over this...
