The classes this month are so inspiring and we hope you'll join us to see our talented group of instructors recreate these fabulous projects on Live with Prima. Join us for these shows on our Prima channel at ustream.com. Create a free log in at ustream, to participate in our live chats that take place during every show. All of our shows are recorded and ready to view on the same channel.
Our schedule is changing, starting this month. We wanted to let everyone know that we are going to continue classes on Thursday nights, since it has been the most popular show night during the week. We will not be scheduling Tuesday night shows any longer, but we will be offering a bonus show each month for guest designers.

This month, we have a very special guest artist, Julie Nutting, joining us with an adorable project she made just for our viewers! Julie has been creating fashion-themed art since she was about 8 years old. Never quite growing out of the paper doll stage, she has gone onto writing Collage Couture, a bestselling book featuring collaged paper fashion illustrations with North Light Books. Her work has been published in Somerset Studio, as well as some of its sister publications, and Cloth, Paper, Scissors. Julie also teaches her unique workshops across the United States. Check out more of Julie’s stunning art work on her blog here.
Take a little notebook from the $1 section and transform it into a darling journal, cute enough to give as a gift! Made from Prima’s new Sun Kiss line and just a few goodies you probably already have in your stash, this whole project can be made in about an hour. Fun bonus: Julie will even show you how to paint hair!
