The Happy Skier NEW! Online Class Nov 15
The Happy Skier NEW! Online Class Sunday, Nov 15, 10am-1pm MT Instructor: Jone Hallmark Limit: 15 students. Includes class kit + shipping To receive your kit in time for the class, register by Nov 8. All participants must be 15 years or older. Class Details This little skier is adventurous, ready to hit the slopes at the first glimpse of light! As they shuss down a cotton-covered mountain of snow, their long scarf flies behind. Create a little skier of your own in this class with Santa Fe artist Jone Hallmark. It’s only about 3” tall, and is made from a wooden peg doll. Other small wooden pieces become skis and poles. Following Jone’s lead, bring your skier to life with acrylic paint and “knit” their Nordic sweater with some of Jone’s signature patterns. They look intricate but are simply straight lines, circles, curves, and some dots applied here and there. Jone’s wee people have the sweetest faces, and she’ll demonstrate how to paint one on your little skier. The happy skier is content to be part of a holiday tableau. Add a little hanger on the hat, though, and they”re delighted to shuss down your Christmas tree. We wish this little skier loads of fresh powder! This online class will be recorded and made available to class participants for 14 days after the class. Class Materials Please bring the following materials: Acrylic paints. Jone uses Deco Art Americana, which comes in small plastic bottles, but other acrylic paints are fine. The Folk Art brand is comparable in price.

Instructor Bio 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. See her work on Instagram at @jonehallmark.
