OUT OF YOUR MIND and onto the Page
with NANCY HAYS HILLS via ZOOM
A feast for the eyes and the mind – this class is designed to ignite your imagination and get your fingers moving to create your own special magic on a page. Each class will start with a little Show and Tell, and then move on to making friends with the blank page in front of you. We’ll start with the basic tools I use in my journals: pens, pencils, fluid writer, nibs and watercolour. As the weeks progress, I hope you’ll add your own favourite tools and colours. You don’t have to be an expert at drawing or lettering or layout to take this class. Each of us will start right where we are and learn by doing. The most important thing to bring to class is your willingness to pour out your heart onto the page.

Violet Smythe’s work from Nancy’s seminar
Nancy Hays Hills is an artist and Episcopal deacon living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her working career was in the field of advertising and graphic design, from which she retired in 2020 to devote more time to her dual vocations of ministry and art. She shares a home with her husband Julian, and her trusty feline sidekick, Samantha, who has been known during Zoom meetings. She began drawing cartoons as soon as she could hold a crayon and was lucky enough to have parents who encouraged their shy daughter to express herself on paper – especially her father, who would amuse her by drawing cartoons, sometimes in ballpoint pen on the bottoms of her feet. She took her first calligraphy course at age 17 and has incorporated lettering in her art ever since.
