to the full 2016 Jo Sonja`s Seminar
with JO SONJA JANSEN MDA, VGM SEMINARS FOLK ART T he culmination of our year of planning is the presentation of the schedule for the new year. We look forward to painting with you in 2016! Most of our classes are held at our studio in Eureka, a small coastal community centered amongst the towering redwoods of Northern California. We also have two classes in Boise, ID in September 2016. For Eureka classes, we provide transportation to and from the airport. Several motels and a variety of restaurants are located nearby. You will be responsible for making your own motel reservations. Upon acceptance, you will be sent a seminar packet that will include a list of motels, rates, phone numbers, list of students, etc. If you wish to take more than one class, a $100.00 deposit is required for each first choice class requested. Seminars close quickly, so please list a second or third choice if possible. All class openings will be filled on a first come, first served basis. If your chosen selections are full, we will place you on the waiting list and send your entire deposit back to you. Once accepted, deposit(s) are non-refundable. The balance of your seminar fee will be due two months prior to your class date. We realize how important certain classes and dates can be to you. Send the application in as fast as you can - and remember, if you are on the waiting list, there are always cancellations. The nearest airport is the Eureka/Arcata airport. The airport is located approximately 13 miles north of our studio in Eureka. United Airlines has jet service to Eureka for all flights. United offers flights through San Francisco. If you would like to be picked up at the airport, we will arrange for “Door to Door” airport shuttle service to pick you up and take you to your hotel. We will also arrange for them to take you back to the airport for your departing flights. When your flight arrives, just tell them your name and that you are with Jo Sonja’s and you are on your way! Lastly, from all of us here, we appreciate the interest you have shown in our seminar program. Thank you for your suggestions and your support- we hope to see you in 2016! DESIGN & COLOR Class Dates - 2016 February 1 - 5 (Monday - Friday) Instructor: Jo Sonja Jansen MDA, VGM Class Fee: $500.00 Class Fee Includes: All paints and mediums used during instruction. We begin our 2016 seminar year with a Design and Color class. A unique experience during which we explore some of the many different aspects of creativity and the actual development of a design. As we have always done, the piece or pieces are not included in the class fee and each artist is welcome to bring a piece or two of your own choosing. There will be exercises and times of sharing and encouragement that, hopefully, will stimulate your creative “juices”.

The Snow Queen By request we are going to do this design from the past. This year it will be the Snow Queen. This is a very detailed design which will take the full week. Some students may already have the required chipcarved plate ready for this class, and because of this we are providing two pricing options. If you need a plate, we will be happy to provide one for you, and if you do not, we can offer you a lower price. Please indicate on your registration form whether you need a plate or not. *Note: Please, let us know if a carved plate is needed when signing up for this class.

Three styles have been chosen for this years studies and we have had very special wood pieces made for them. 1. A small tilt top table is decorated with Italian florals. Background lighting gives an interesting glow to this painting.* 2. Danish florals in a Rococo style decorate a semicircular salt box. The box is a reproduction of an old piece by Larry Pickett. 3. A wall clock which is again a reproduction of an old piece decorated in a Hindeloopen floral style with small birds and scenes. All Images - Copyright 2015 Jo Sonja Jansen *The above table top is an example of the style that we will be painting. The actual design, done on a tilt top table will be revealed at a later time. PINOCCHIO Class Dates - 2016 April 11 - 15 (Monday - Friday) October 10 - 14 (Monday - Friday) Instructor: Jo Sonja Jansen MDA, VGM Class Fee: $550.00 Class Fee Includes: Patterns, instructions, painting surface, all paints and mediums used during instruction. Inspired by Heidi England, I finally decided to try and illustrate the original version of the Pinocchio story by Carlo Collodi (Heidi even sent me her old book to use). Well, upon receiving the book, I sat down and read it through. This wonderful story is here illustrated on a small trunk and I tried to make it look like it came from an Italian villa. Meet the dogfish (or Italian Shark), he is five stories tall and a mile long in the book. Open the lid to see inside his tummy, which contains a painted wooden doll. The wooden dolls are being designed now and will be provided for the class. Additional images from the design are available for viewing online at josonja.com in the seminar section. Each surface has a scene from the story and, of course, we will read bits and pieces of the story as we paint it.

Instructor: Jo Sonja Jansen MDA, VGM Class Fee: $550.00 Class Fee Includes: Wood piece, patterns and instructions, all paints and mediums used in class. The story of King Arthur was the inspiration for this adaptation of an old reliquary decorated with scenes. The techniques and style of decoration are from studies of early manuscript painting styles and are great fun! Filled with strokes and stylized objects, this is sure to tempt your brushes.

Instructor: Jo Sonja Jansen MDA, VGM Class Fee: $550.00 Class Fee Includes: Wooden Ark with clock, wooden blocks, patterns and instructions, all paints and mediums used in class. This is a piece that I designed a number of years ago wanting to do a Noah’s Ark with Norwegian influence. This ark is decorated with Hallingdal Rosemaling and the “town” on the top is really a collection of small containers (the roofs lift off ). I envisioned it a staying on my desk and holding paper clips, stamps, etc. The drop-down ark door enclosed an area where I could hide my coffee cup and maybe a cookie, but now it holds wooden blocks. *Note: Carved wooden animals will be available for separate purchase while attending class.

For me, this is a week is a stroll down memory lane. One of the first artists to inspire my painting journey was Peter Ompir and I have always admired his painting style and technique. Different types of antiquing techniques will be used in this class. 1. Child’s Chair: Inspired by Dutch design and old Fraktur painting, this version of a small so-called settle chair features a guardian angel and birds, tulips and pomegranates. 2. Harvest Fruit: Rectangular tray with fruit and flowers featuring the potato rub technique. Additional images from the designs are available for viewing online at josonja.com in the seminar section. 3. Peter Pear Picker: Tin clock with a colonial man and fruit.

From the Hedalen Stave Church (Valdres) comes the inspiration for this unique piece in the style of a box used to hold religious relics. It is painted with Adam and Eve on one side and a small nativity on the other. Small floral insets are painted with inspiration from Hovel Gaarder’s decoration of the altar piece in 1767. Additional images from the design are available for viewing online at josonja.com in the seminar section.
