I'm teaching an after school workshop on Artist Trading Cards (something I'm just getting into myself), and would love to have some techniques to help the kids explore their artistic sides (since I consider myself more of a crafter than an artist). It could be fun to have them try a new technique every week on their ATCs!

Thanks for the chance to win a copy!

My 12 year old would love this. I like to do art with her out of school as her teachers don't really appreciate her style of work, they are just very negative about it. We would have great fun with tis one. I already have some of the artlab books at my school.

This book seems to be an excellent source of ideas for workshops with kids in orphanages. I'm a founder of a social project called "MyDreamCity". You can read about our activities with kids here www.mydreamcity.org/news. It is an independent youth initiative and we're looking for new creative ideas for children's development. We keep up with Poppytalk posts and use its ideas very often! Thank you very much!
