Birds, Hearts, & Words - A Banner! NEW! Online Class Feb 22

Jone Hallmark, a Santa Fe artist and maker of all things charming, loves celebrations! (We swear “celebration” is her middle name.) And what’s a celebration without a banner? Jone has a blueprint for making quick and easy banners; it’s simple to change up the blueprint according to what and who’s being celebrated. Sharing her blueprint and her techniques in this class is her way of encouraging more celebrations and making the world a happier place.

The elements of the banner are simple: templates for silhouettes (birds, hearts), outlines for words (letters of the alphabet), some string, a little glue, and paper. Jone has a gazillion ideas for these fun little banners. During class she shows different ones she’s made as examples of how to decorate and use them. She would love to encourage you to find your own twist. Her parting words? Go celebrate! 

Note: there’s 15-30 minutes of work to be done before class. You’ll receive instructions and templates via email.

This online class will be recorded and made available to class participants for 14 days after the class.

Please bring the following materials:

• Favorite scissors for cutting paper
  
• Pencil (for tracing templates)
  
• Several pages of inexpensive paper you have available, even plain copy paper - it just needs to hold a crease
• String - can be almost anything: string, twine, or yarn
  
• Favorite glue stick

Santa Fe artist Jone Hallmark, who says of herself, “I tend to work in a two-inch square!”, has created her own little world of magical delights. Each tiny wonder – from the cleverest fox or hedgehog to a charming parade of flower-bearing young girls – is handcrafted from paper clay, wire, wood, and other tiny bits and pieces. Her sophisticated yet simple designs show the influence of both her father’s Scandinavian heritage and the intricate painted miniatures she collected when living in Switzerland. Her affinity for using small, ordinary objects comes from her mom, also a graphic designer and artist. She taught Jone that you can make just about anything you want instead of going to a store to buy it. Jone’s creative life started on the floor of her father’s studio, where she sat as a child surrounded by brushes, paints, and a treasure of paper. Her passion for design eventually led to work developing store displays, award-winning lines of decorated papers, and the beloved Bryce and Madeline stickers. One day, after twenty years of licensing her artwork for other people’s products, Jone realized that she needed to get back to basics and simplify. In that moment, her tiny little world was born. Now she spends her time teaching, drawing, painting, and making huge messes on every available flat surface. Visit Jone's Instagram: @jonehallmark
