Fred B. Mullett
All classes are $55.00
Must be prepaid at the time of registration

Spritz Me, Baby...mo Bettah!
Finding merit in the "less is more" concept and the power of imprecision, this class focuses on the soluble properties of markers and other water-based media to achieve watery effects using rubber stamps.  Bleaching out imagery on black paper, then re-introducing color with high contrast accents is also tackled to achieve startling effects.  Some experience in stamping suggested.  Includes handouts and a large supply of instructor-provided supplies. Raincoats are optional. (Just kidding!) Students will be responsible for a list of specific required materials. Max – 12 students

Saturday, Nov. 1st     9:30 – 1:30     $55.00

Dancing Rubber Fish
A hands-on elaboration of “Painting With Plastic; Multicolor Embossing with Fred B. Mullett”, Somerset Studio, May-June 1997.
Expanding the methods of multi-color printing with multi-color embossing and watercolor additions, this class is geared toward the experienced student, though could be considered a “sink or swim” lesson for beginners. Includes handouts and a large supply of instructor-provided supplies. There's a small materials list for students.

Saturday, Nov. 1st     2:30 - 6:30     $55.00

The Elegant Mess
A veritable food fight of a class! Where the spontaneous meets the specific. Where the positive meets the negative. And where leftovers go to play. We will fiddle around with principles of figure/ground relationship as we integrate Ranger Color Wash Dyes and Luminarte H2Os, collage, stencils, and stamps on Oriental and watercolor paper with remarkable results. Suitable for small or large format work, this visual play time will add miles to artistic efforts! Includes handouts and a large supply of instructor-provided supplies. Students will be responsible for a minimal list of specific required materials. Max - 12 students

Sunday, November 2nd     12:00 – 4:00     $55.00


Here are lists of the student supplied materials for the Fred Mullett classes:

“Spritz Me, Baby...Mo’ Bettah!”

• Some of your favorite broad–tipped water–based markers (Tombow, Marvy, crayola — whatever)
• Favorite medium to large FBM stamps, if you wish. Many are provided.

“Dancing Rubber Fish”
• All materials and supplies are provided by the instructor. You may want to bring some of your own images to try this with in the last part of the class. Maybe some EP’s they want to dust off and bring up out of the basement.

“The Elegant Mess”
• Cutting Mat (ideally, larger than 3“ x 4“ and smaller than 9“ x 12“)
• Xacto or craft knife (preferably NOT scissors)
• Metal ruler or straight edge for cutting straight lines
• At least 6 Luminarte H2O’s or one of the USArtQuest PearlEx round palettes. (Add water to these the day prior to class. They need to be “goopy”. This is important!) Color selection is up to student.
