Starting to think about the holidays? This workshop will inspire those who love to make handmade gifts! In this class you will start with 4 or 5 ordinary envelopes in specific sizes. These will be attached and decorated with colorful papers. Then, create your own “ephemera” to go within each envelope! This can include quotes, drawings, messages, art and more. Let your imagination run wild! A sepia tone applied to all edges will give these books an old world look with a modern twist.

V. Norton

Nature is an inspiration for my artwork. All the Native American tribes that dwell around us are also a source of creativity. I see my colors, textures and shapes in the environment around me .

Calligraphy:
I have always loved letters as an art form, as well as a way to express ideas and feelings. This I try to represent in my cards, prints, and original pieces shown here in the gallery. I have been a calligrapher for over 35 years, and loved teaching my art. I was the Calligraphy Instructor here at SAC from 1989- 2003. From there I was an adjunct professor at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ from 2003- 2007. I always thought my students were some of my finest teachers. Now original pieces, designing handmade books, and commissions keep me expanding my calligraphic horizons.

Ceramics:
Porcelain is the clay “ with which I like to play.” My functional pieces, such as the bowls and hand carved mugs, are all high fired with lead free glazes . Safe to eat from, as well as aesthetically pleasing. However I do like the bright colors of the low fire glazes used in my some of my folk art pieces and especially my masks. Everywhere I have travelled, I found indigenous people creating some image of the unknown. I too am a mask maker, large and small.

I look forward to a long relationship with the spirit of my clay and those who appreciate its beauty
