Runaway First Wednesday July 3
Runaway Art & Craft Studio is joining the Salem First Wednesday crowd — come celebrate our downtown, including a special demonstration from 4 pm until 7:00.
And, of course, the store will be open late as well!
2019 Spring Paper Journey — “Let’s Get Cookin'” — from March 18 thru March 30!
“Let’s get Cookin”
Runaway Art & Craft Studio is joining Paper Parachute, Whimzee’s Scrapbook Studio, Main Street Stamp & Stationery, Impressing Ideas, and Paper Craft Addiction (that’s just the list so far — thanks to the folks at Paper Parachute for getting the ball rolling!). We are launching the new Spring Paper Journey, built around the 2019 theme “Let’s Get Cookin'”!
Join us for 2 Weeks of Paper Crafting Fun! Whether you like Scrapbooking, Cardmaking, Art Journaling, Mixed Media, or every one of these Paper inspired crafts, you will find stores that will fit your needs perfectly. Start at your HOME store or any store on the list. Purchase your Traveler’s Notebook and receive a Swag Bag. As you visit each store, they will stamp the appropriate space in your notebook and provide you with a “Let’s Get Cookin'” recipe card for you. They also will provide a Photo Opportunity and a chance at a weekly drawing for a $20 Gift Certificate.
At each store where you spend a minimum of $20.00, you will receive a 20% discount on regular priced merchandise and a 6” x 8” Cookbook page kit designed at that store. Additional kits can be purchased for $3.00.
And here at Runaway you also will receive a 15% off coupon, which can be used for 15% off all regular-priced merchandise (with only limited restrictions) that you purchase on a single day between now and September 1.
Turn in your completed stamped page at the last store you visit for an entry into the Grand Prize Drawing for a $20.00 Gift Certificate from each participating store.
Contact us here at Runaway at 503-881-6270 or at Christy@RunawayArt.com.
Dina Wakley kicks off 2019 with a February visit to Runaway

Dina will be at Runaway on Thursday, Feb. 21, Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019.
You will find out the basic information bout her classes below, with more details on the class descriptions pages. Let us know which classes you’d like to take. If you take all of the classes, Christy will have a goodie bag for you to take home on the first day of class.

“IT FIGURES”
Thursday, February 21 — 10 am to 5 pm
Fee: $145
Dina’s description: “I love abstract figures, and the best part about them is that they are easy to create and there are lots of fun ways to create them. Join me for this class, where we will explore several methods of creating our figures. Then we’ll incorporate them into finished journal pages and art pieces.”
“THE ART OF RESTRAINT”
Friday, February 22, 2019 — 10 am to 5 pm
Fee: $150
Dina’s description: “I always say one thing missing in mixed media is restraint. This class is all about doing less. We’ll focus on the power of line, brushstroke, and color to tell our stories instead of burying them under dozens of layers. Listen, I love layers, but it is good artistic practice to work with a limited palette of supplies. Artistic growth, here we come! This class includes a small 6×6″ journal, in which we’ll work during the class.”
“BEESWAX COLLAGE”
Saturday, February 23, 2019 — 10 am to 1 pm
Fee: $75
Dina’s description: “By special request, here’s a reprise of beeswax collage. This process is experimental, fun, and creates such interesting transparent layers that pictures don’t even begin to do them justice. We’ll play with Media Board, pure beeswax, and collage papers and tissues. We’ll add acrylic paint in between layers for interesting effects, and will even scratch into the wax to make marks. You’ll be hooked!”
“THE PAINTED FACE”
Saturday, February 23, 2019 — 2 pm to 5 pm
Fee: $75
Dina’s Description: “No drawing experience required for this face painting class…we are going to use stamped images and collage tissue. Easy peasy! I’ll show you my favorite ways to paint faces, using both acrylics and Scribble Sticks. We’re going for interesting art faces, not traditional and cute. Come with a sense of adventure and ready to play!”
Supply list for all classes.
- Basic tool kit: Ranger craft sheet, scissors, baby wipes, paper towels, paper plate or palette paper to use as a palette (or you can just use your craft sheet). You may also want a small notebook and a pen for taking notes.
- Your art journal.
We are so fortunate to be the first store! Please join us for three days of amazing teaching and fun!
