Use a sketchbook as your muse to gather captivating imagery that ignites your imagination. Rebecca Ringquist of Dropcloth Samplers, celebrated for her embroidery and intricate stitched drawings, empowers you to explore your unique artistic style through fearless experimentation, free from the constraints of perfection or productivity. Over the course of a month, embark on an expressive journey dedicated to spontaneous mark-making and playful collaging in the first half, then respond to those textures and images in the second, culminating in exquisitely layered, visually intricate pages. When you're done, you'll have a place to begin.

One of my favorite classes ever! I could watch her play in sketchbooks forever.

I loved this class, it was so inspiring and creative, it got me so excited to get started and approach working in my sketchbook in a different way. It helped me be more free and intuitive about filling the pages, it got me over the fear of the blank page and not knowing what to draw or paint. Will definitely go back to re-watch parts for new inspiration in the future!
