Nancy Curry teaching her marvelous techniques for ATCs (but they can be used for lots of other art pieces too).

Oh what a talented and creative person she is. I had worked my way through part of her wonderful book: Texture Effects last year with the Artists of the Round Table and so was very excited to be able to take Nancy's class at Art Bash North: Mixed Media ATCs). I loved the way she worked all kinds of paints and mediums with different tools -- creating an 8.5 x 11" sheet from which we could cut pieces to use as backrounds for ATCs. She also brought a lot of her own ATC creations for us to drool over.
