Genesis heat set paints are loved by reborn artists worldwide! Genesis paints do not permanently set until heated, therefore giving the artist flexibility to change & correct color applications as needed… even if you have to stop to cook dinner! Paints left in palettes can quickly be re-activated with a bit of thinner even after sitting for days which makes these paints last forever! The large range of colors and flexibility of application matched with many mediums that create texture, depth, and beauty make Genesis my paint of choice for bringing babies to life!

 

Come join Sherri and she will teach you the basics of mixing, applying, and heat setting GHSP. She will cover flesh layers, mottling, nails, veining, basic capillaries & birth marks, wrinkles & creases, and skin texture.  You will learn her tips, tricks, and techniques for creating multidimensional skin tones that are breathtaking!

Please dress casual and comfortably. An Apron or Paint Shirt will be needed. Students will be emailed their class details after signing up.  A limited Edition Kit, Paints & other supplies will be provided  (kit to be announced).

In Depth Rooting Class  on Thursday taught by

Professional Reborn Artist Michelle Hagins

In this class students will receive in-depth, one on one rooting instruction. Students will learn how to create a natural directionally rooted swirl, and a realistic "baby" head of hair so realistic it appears to be growing right out of the baby doll's head. This class is suitable for the beginner, or for anyone that would like to improve on their rooting skills.  

One day class- Thursday June 21  8am-5pm with a 1 hour lunch break noon - 1 pm

 Maximum class size: 12

1 day class price- $99.00 


Students must bring their own pre-painted newborn or smaller head. Please keep in mind that bringing a head larger than this, may not be able to be completed in the time allotted.  I will provide the mohair, which will be a beautiful baby brown color, so students are encouraged to paint the baby's complexion (skin tones) and eyebrows accordingly.  I will also provide the needles. Students should bring their own rooting tool if they have one, if they do not have such a tool, then a banding tool will be provided to root with.

As a gift for taking the class, students will go home with a couple of extra needles to practice with, along with the remainder of the provided 1/4 ounce of mohair to be used in the class and the rooting bowl & towel that is also provided will go home with the students. 

Also upon taking my class students will receive a bonus coupon for a significant discount on one of my favorite rooting tools  "DianeLovesBabies Rooting Tool",  designed and created by Diane O'Daniel, which will be for sale at the show at table #2.  I will be demonstrating with this tool in the class.
