Let me tell you a little bit about Tyn
Tyn lives in Pasadena, Ca. with her Husband and 2 cats. She was lucky to have been raised by creative parents who encouraged and supported her artistic interests. Her husband is a creative soul as well. Her joy in life is to make things.. all kinds of things.. and she changes what she makes all the time. Sometimes she quilts, and sometimes she goccos. She fuses glass, and decoupages, she does pmc, and makes plushie sock monsters and felted bunnies. She does collage, mosaic, and she solders, and sometimes she even goes outside and gardens! She likes to learn new things, and so life is always interesting!
All About Yoli Manzo
Yoli Manzo was born and raised in the Silicon Valley. She now makes her home in Sacramento, California where she immerses herself in cultural art exhibiting muse from Latin folk art such as Dia de los Muertos, Frida Kahlo and religious saints. Her signature has been described as having a very sharp edge that is admirable for a woman artist. She uses mixed media, strong colors, plenty of glitter and her edgy wit to all her art! Yoli Manzo's art work, which includes shrines, jewelry, handbags, dolls, skulls and paintings have been featured in art galleries, television, and art festivals throughout northern California, as well as internationally via the world wide web. She is a member of the Scary Art Collective and the Northern California Mixed Media Artist group.. Her website is www.sacredyoli.blogspot.com.
It is our girl Frida Kahlo's birthday this month, and what better way to honor Mexico's most influential and iconic female artist then to create a doll depicting her greatness. We will be working on a blank canvas, or otherwise known as a naked doll form, which by the way are hand made by Ms. Yoli. These adorable dolls will be ready to be painted (face and body), dressed, and embellished in keeping with the spirit of Frida Kahlo. Yoli will show us all we need to know to complete our dolls. There is some sewing involved, but not to fear, it is the slightest of stitching!
All supplies will be provided.

Featuring
Erin Engleston
Something About Erin
Erin loves all things that are handmade and believes that each and every one of us has a creative heart just waiting to be found. Although she has a background in traditional arts, such as crocheting, knitting, drawing and painting, Erin tends to add a modern twist to her work by using nontraditional elements. She is a mother of two toddler boys and is currently pursuing her BA in Art History at UCLA.
Erin will show you how to combine patchwork collaging, painting, and texturing to create a layered background for your Portrait. She will show you how to sketch out your Portrait and then fill in the details using paints, pens, rub-ons, and other fun embellishments. This project is done on 11x14 canvas boards. All supplies are included in this class!

My Friend Annette Armas
Annette Armas grew up in East L.A. and currently resides in Pomona, where she is fulfilling her destiny as an artist. She has always been very creative but for the last four years she has been directing her creativity to painting for her company CJ's Angels. She's not your usual canvas painting artist, instead she loves to paint on clay muerto figures, wood carvings and metal nichos. She is inspired by her Mexican culture and her travels throughout Mexico. Each piece she paints comes directly from her heart & soul, her Angel up above (Carlos) and her two Angels here on earth (Willie and Theresa). If you have any questions about her artwork feel free to contact her at
