This new online class features three different sessions that include instruction for Chinoiserie, Floral Techniques and painting sea shells.  Together they combine for the beautiful designs that Jo Sonja calls "The Garden of The Sea Dragon. 

Sometimes she loves to try something a little different and perhaps challenging. Inspired by the beautiful alder tea box that we had done for Jo Sonja's original chinoiserie design - we designed a larger rectangular one with the same beautiful molding and extra details.  Together these two beautiful alder wood pieces make a stunning display, gift or addition to your home.

Painting two very detailed techniques on shaped surfaces is a challenge... but fun!

The packet that accompanies this lesson is 20 pages with full color close-ups of all designs.  There are bundle options available for online class with digital packet, online class with printed packet, online class with printed packet and small tea box, online class with printed packet and large tea box OR the full package with online class, printed packet and both tea boxes for an incredible set.

The boxes are made out of beautiful alder.

The small box is:
6.75" x 6.75" x 7"

The larger box is:
12" x 7" x 7"
