Some call us monsters for ripping up and altering books–I think of us more as creatives who can see potential in anything! Let’s gather together with kindred spirits and rip and alter to our hearts’ content! We’ll take an ordinary vintage book and turn it into something extraordinary using paint, embellishments, and reconstructive techniques. You bring the book, (BYOB!) and I’ll supply the rest! Each part of the book will be put to good and new uses as we deconstruct our books and reconstruct them into fabulous works of art. We’ll also create our own unique collage papers to be used inside our new books and explore several art-journaling jumpstarts and background techniques to get you going!  Our time will also include creating journals from upcycled materials.

Nicole Austin

Nicole Austin is a mixed media artist, designer, and instructor from Tempe, AZ with a BA in Creative Arts.  Her first canvas was every surface at her grandma’s house (walls, under the coffee table, books) and that is probably why she loves to draw on every surface to this day!  She believes that everyone has a unique style and desire to create, and that we all are born curious and creative. Her art is messy, colorful, layered, and expressive.  She has taught mixed media workshops since 2016 and her art has been featured in several publications including Art Journaling, Brush, and Strawberry Moon Magazine.
