Brand spankin’ new on the Runaway floor is our giant OLO display. Why are we excited about this? OLO is a premium alcohol build your own marker. Why throw away the whole marker, when you can simply replace the ink? Choose from a brush or chisel head or both for versatility in your art and crafting.
Your marker your way…
OLO’s unique design features let artists custom-build marker and marker sets. For example, the OLO Connector ring combines various OLO™ marker ink colors, nibs, and more. Experience a new way to color with OLO accessories such as the Brush Handle.
The OLO™ marker body is designed for easy and quick nib identification. The black marker body identifies the brush nib, the dark gray for the chisel nib, and the white marker body identifies the ZERO (colorless solution) marker.

We are really excited to announce that Megan Quinlan, who is a widely known artist in the mixed media world, will be teaching a fantastic class on Saturday, July 15th! This creative day will include a lot of inspiration, fun techniques and a chance to make a finished mini tag book similar to the one below.
Mini Tag Book
This is a simple book structure that requires no sewing. We will create backgrounds in class and use stencils and stamping techniques to add to our books. Megan will walk you through various elements and ideas to give your books your own personal touch. Kits will be provided full of some fun freebies to use in class while you are creating.
Megan will be teaching one class on Saturday, July 15th, from 10 am to 4 pm, with a break for lunch, at a cost of $125. If you would like to attend, please send an e-mail to Christy@RunawayArt.com, give us a call at (503) 881-6270, or come by the store during regular business hours. We’ll get you signed up (please don’t try to sign up in Facebook comments or using Messenger – we just aren’t set up to manage things that way). We do require payment for class in advance. To confirm your registration, we will need to receive payment in full (including the $25 non-refundable fee) no later than the end of the day on Sunday, July 9. We will refund the $100 balance if you cancel before that time – but if you need to cancel after July 9 we will not be able to refund your money (the registration is transferable at any time if you find a replacement student).
Runaway will be sending registrants more details about supplies and other items of interest prior to class. Please let us know if you have any questions–we hope to see you soon!
Runaway offers a lot of different classes. If you enjoy mixed media, maybe the Altered Book or Art Journaling classes would be of interest.
