Hey, we're thrilled to share that Ranger's Signature Designer, Dina Wakley, is coming to Scrapper's Playground in July! Her Art Journal Play series is all about exploring and playing with art journaling techniques. The goal for each class is simple - learn techniques, experiment, play and make finished journal pages. You'll work in journals, but what you learn can be applied to all mixed media projects, including canvases, book making, and on and on. Please stop by or call us at 631.539.9888 to register!
A $25 non-refundable deposit will be required at the time of registration. Classes must be paid in full two weeks prior to the class date. Please note that fees and deposits are non-refundable but transferable. And for those who may be traveling by train, we're just a 5-minute ride from the LIRR Babylon station and will assist you in getting to and from the station.
So let's take a look at the classes Dina will be teaching!
Art Journal Play Series: Conquering Color
Friday, July 18 // 6 to 9 p.m.
Cost: $65
Join Dina as you conquer color! You'll first make color charts with her gorgeous paints. Then you'll practice specific color schemes, playing with split-complementary, triadic, analogous with complement, to name a few. Dina will show you how to take each color scheme and make a vibrant page with it. Along the way she'll give you tips and techniques for managing color and effectively using contrast. She'll teach you to mix ink and acrylics to give interesting layers and color effects.
Please bring:
- Basic Tool Kit: rag/cloth, pencil, scissors, palette knife, baby wipes, paper towels, old gift card (to use as a scraper)
- Your art journal (Dina recommends the large Dylusions journal by Ranger)

Art Journal Play Series: Strong & Powerful Women
Saturday, July 19 // 9 a.m. to Noon
Cost: $65
Join Dina to create art journal pages that represent strength and positive thought. She'll use her new rubber stamp sets and stencils to create pages that are both beautiful and meaningful. She'll use her new stamp sets - Scribbly Women and Face in the Crowd -- to create figures for your pages. She'll also talk about composition and create the pages from the bottom layers up. Come and play with her paints, stamps and stencils and have lots of fun!

Art Journal Play Series: Facing the Facts
Saturday, July 19 // 1 to 4 p.m.
Cost: $65
Dina always says she doesn't know how to draw, yet she has taught herself to draw faces. And you can draw faces too! She'll teach you how to draw a face with easy tips and tricks. You'll use the "magic pencil" to make your faces look artsy and interesting. And she'll give you each your own pencil in your kit so you'll have one to play with at home. She'll also show you how to paint faces with artistic and fun colors. Even if you can't draw, you can learn to draw faces -- she promises!
Please bring:

Art Journal Play Series: Listening & Layering
Saturday, July 19 // 5 to 8 p.m.
Cost: $65
Explore and push your layers. Dina will guide you through layering exercises, where you listen to her prompts and react in your journal. No two pieces will be alike! It's a great artistic study for learning to listen to your artwork, where to put the next layer and when to stop. You'll try to load your pages with as many layers as you can, making sure you remain in control of the layers and that you work them to your advantage.
