JUDY WILKENFELD
MIXED MEDIA WORKSHOP
IS ON!!!!

I'm very excited to announce that we have achieved minimum numbers and Judy Wilkenfeld's Workshop will be going ahead.........no if's, no but's.........DEFINITELY!  Bookings are still open as there are places still available, so if you are interested in attending then you had better be quick!  

Your Personal Invitation

sharonmanning.com.au would like to personally invite you to an exclusive 2 day workshop with the very talented Judy Wilkenfeld creating a project that will be sure to inspire and spark your creativity.

Book of Memories

Preserving our precious memories, photo’s and memorabilia in a book form is the theme for our workshop. We will spend 2 days creating a book starting from 2 antique book covers. 

It will be very dimensional. The inner book will be made accordion style especially good for newbie’s to mixed media books.

We all have our favourite photos and memorabilia of/from family and or those closest to us.  

My experience with documenting people’s life stories reveals that we only need a few photos and or items to preserve the memories.
 
You will learn how to use symbolism, colour, texture, found objects and your memorabilia to tell the story of those nearest and dearest to you – WITHOUT WORDS.

Techniques you will learn to apply:

• Binding a book from cover boards
• The ageing of fabrics, papers, images and metals
• The adhering of dimensional mixed media items
• The use and application of mica and acrylics
• The use of symbolism
• Working with wire
• The creation of a shadow box
• Layering of mixed media objects

Judy Wilkenfeld is a mixed media artist from Sydney Australia who works mainly on commission-based work. Her artwork has been published in the three leading paper arts magazines in Australia. Judy has been a contributor to an art-zine, and a number of articles related to her artworks have been published both in Australia and the USA, and more recently was the "Artist In Profile" in Cloth Paper Scissors. 

Judy’s produces Visual Anthologies™, documenting the lives of her clients through a mix of photos using mixed media artwork and found objects. Judy’s use of symbolism is tantamount to her art pieces. Through the use of textures, found objects and mixed media techniques, Judy conveys the stories behind her client’s lives. Each and every object, colour and texture have symbolic meanings. Bringing history to life in either wall art or book forms is part of her raison d’etre, “everyone has a story to tell”.

Albums

Are you looking for that special gift for a birthday, wedding or anniversary?  Then maybe I can help.  Over the past 2 years I have been creating life story's through scrapbooking.  These precious albums are normally commissioned by a family member as a gift and special care is taken to compile a unique family memento.  All original photographs chosen and supplied by you are scanned and reprinted before being turned into works of art that tell a story of a lifetime.  Various price structures are available.  Find out more

Photography
As a keen photographer I am available for casual photoshoots in an informal setting where everyone can feel relaxed and enjoy the experience.  Please visit my gallery or contact me for more information and pricing.  Find out more

Workshops and Retreats

Teaching my craft is definitely one of my passions. I love the "buzzy" feeling students get when they finish one of my projects and their sense of achievement.  Whatever level of expertise they have!  I have been teaching now for about 3 years and have been repeatedly asked back to teach at the Outback Scrappin' retreat in Hyden which is held twice a year.

My home workshops are scheduled to start in a couple of weeks so if you are insterested in these then drop me an email.  You won't be disappointed with the location, I promise!

I am also available to teach any of my projects in a classroom environment and you never know one day I may have my own online classroom! For project examples please visit my workshop gallery.  Find out more
