CLAUDINE HELLMUTH BIO
Claudine Hellmuth is a nationally known collage artist, author and illustrator. Her work has been chosen as fine-art poster designs, featured in numerous magazines, used as book cover artwork, published as rubber-stamps, drink coasters, journals, magnets and more. In addition to creating her artwork full-time, Claudine teaches mixed media collage workshops in the US & Canada, and she has written 2 books about her techniques, "Collage Discovery Workshop" and "Collage Discovery Workshop: Beyond the Unexpected." She has also produced three instructional DVD workshops. She has been a guest on HGTV and the DIY network.
With a BFA in fine art from the Corcoran College of Art, Claudine approaches collage the old-fashioned way. She enjoys the challenge of working with a variety of materials; cutting, pasting and painting her artworks by hand.
Claudine's studio and home is in Orlando, Florida USA, where she lives with her husband, Paul, and their very spoiled 4-legged children--Toby the wonder dog, and Mable & Stanely the cats.

SUPPLY LIST
· Please bring a few color copies of family photos or antique images that you would like to use as your puppet "head." These should be good head shots. The heads for my puppets are usually about 1 inch tall. If you can copy your heads onto cardstock great! If not we'll mount them to reinforce them. Some copy shops won't let you color copy onto card stock anymore.
· A quarter flat of fabric. Bring any fabric patterns you like to create the body of your puppet.
· Items to enhance your puppet: beads, fringe, buttons, glitter, etc, it's up to you!
also make sure and check out her TV appearance on Martha Stewart where her class project makes it's official TV debut in Martha's intro!
