Something New on the Horizon…
Hi there!
There’s something new on the horizon at Clarity. Many of you have already enrolled for my very first paid LIVE online Classroom workshop, which is coming up next week, on Saturday 12th October.
What are we making?
A beautiful, hand cut, hand crafted Lighthouse Paper Collage, mounted on a 12 in x 12 in Canvas board
If you have already signed up, then you will have already received the lovely materials kit, including the canvas board, papers and template. There’s still time to dive in and join in if you want to learn this process, and hang out with a bunch of like-minded people from all over the world.
So. If you fancy joining in, then you have until this coming Friday to sign up. That gives us a whole week to get the kit to you before the LIVE Session. Mind you, both a pre-recorded session AND the LIVE session will be available to watch and go back to for a whole year. So even if you can’t make the LIVE link, never worry! You can either pretend you were there, and watch the LIVE recording, or just study the process together with me, on a more one-to-one session. Here’s the link to the Classroom session, which is available much like any other product on our website, for just £65 . Club Members discount applies. Click HERE
If you have already enrolled, and are waiting patiently for the doors to open to our Inner Circle, well today you will have received an email, inviting you to sign up to the Circle Group, which looks like this:
If you have any problems at all, never worry! There is also a helpline and a phone number to call. Making sure that we are all in the right place at the right time. But well before the LIVE session, you’ll be able to get into the Inner Circle area, and familiarise yourself with where to go, where to ask for help, where to post your creations, where to hang out with your new buddies. And where to sign up for other online classrooms! I am hoping to do many more online classes on this Circle Platform during the coming months and years! Let’s build this Classroom community together.
I am quietly excited about this next adventure. I’ve been going through it all in my head, and going through the how to’s and what if’s.
I’m going to pre-record the session on Tuesday next week at Clarity Towers, with Jim in the room. He can then edit and finesse the finished recording. We know the internet and lighting is absolutely robust, 100% TV studio quality for that one.
I think I’m going to do the live session from the SHAC, at home. But the jury’s still out on that one. We’ve beefed up the internet at home, and added loads of lighting. I like my art room above the garage. It’s cosy, and I’m familiar with everything. But on the other hand, at Clarity Towers we have a dedicated line into our building, so, short of a power outage, we are golden. Nah. Sod it. I won’t risk it for a biscuit! The Live session is airing from Clarity Towers too! Decision made!
Anyway, just know that it will be fun, enjoyable, informative and rewarding. Oh. And we will complete a BEAUTIFUL paper collage of a Lighthouse in real time together!! It will be just like hanging out in the SHAC actually. Except it will be a closed group.
Yes. If you haven’t signed up, why not give it a go? You will be so chuffed with the end result. We’ll go through it, step by step, together. I bet there are plenty of you reading this who did the simpler Cottages paper Collage with me during the Summer Retreat. Tell us what you thought of the project, and whether you’ve signed up for this second, intermediate level collage.
Love always,
Barb x x x

Hi Barb
I did the first one at the summer retreat and loved it so much that I tried a design of my own. Can’t wait for the next instalment. I shall be getting sorted with my IT tomorrow so I’m ready in good time. I must also find my tweezers for the windows!

Hi Barbara, really looking forward to this new venture. It will be good to see everyone crafting along together, I wonder who will be the furthest away from Clarity Towers on the day? I need to check the package & gather everything together – I put it away safe but I have remembered where I put it !!
Looking forward to it and finding my way around the community space ! X
I’m looking forward to the live workshop. No doubt your subtitles for us who have hearing impairment will be spot on as usual. I’ve never done anything like this, having recently retired , I’m looking forward to learning something new. The community Circle looks good too.

Really excited and looking forward to it. X
Looking forward to having another go at this. Just need to work out what screen to watch on and how much table space we will need. I’ve logged into Circle so I know that works ok.
Thank you for putting this on. Xx
What an exciting time. I enjoyed the retreat session, very different to stamping & groovie but still great to do something different.
Hi Barbara,
Very exited and curious about this new technique. I will be ready at our time here, which will be 9 pm.
Good luck with the pre run.
I am so looking forward to this, but can’t join the live on 13th. I know the recorded session will be just as good but sad to be missing the interactions! I loved the session on the retreat – I saved my other papers and just need to mount them onto a canvas board now, which is just as well as I gifted my retreat one to a friend for her birthday and she wants me to make her two ore as she absolutely loved it!
I am very excited about this new Clarity adventure, and excited for you, Barb. I was a little “hesitant” at the Retreat to try the collaging, but you made it seem so achievable and fun! I can’t wait for the next step and being part of the new Classroom Circle.
Barb, in the SHAC you are our bus driver taking us on crafty adventures but here in this Classroom you will be showing us how to cut out the beacon and shine the light, you will be our Lighthouse Keeper, bringing us safely home to craft! (Apologies to Sam Smith! 😄)
Looking forward to this online class room, but will probably not be able to watch on the 12th, as helping with the church’s Harvest Breakfast, and the clearing up afterwards, but will enjoy catching up, as not at work the following week. xx
Really looking forwards to doing the Classroom collage next week. I’ve never really done a proper collage before. Hope I’ll be able to keep up with everyone but I know I’ll have the recorded tutorial to look at afterwards so no need to panic!
Looking forward to the Lighthouse collage, Olivia, Leah and I came to the retreat and made the cottages collage we had a lovely time thank you Barbara and the Clarity team. I am hoping the girls and Leah’s son Reuben will be joining me for the live show on the 12th.
Love Janet Cummings
Hello Barb, well there are some very excited people. I may join in the future, but unable to join this session. Bx
It sounds great and I’m sure you will all have a blast!
I look forward to seeing everyone’s end results!
I love to hear your enthusiasm and excitement in your blog xx
Really looking forward to it. Flu jab in the morning then some fun.
I wish I had read this before getting the email.
I thought it was a scam so rang the office to check. Sorry.
Take care.
That’s funny. I too have a flu jab first thing before this in the afternoon!
Thank you, Barbara.
I was surprised not to find the email yesterday in my inbox but then put on my thinking cap and looked in Junk. By no means junk but there it was.
I’ve just now joined the circle but on reading all the terms and conditions etc I was really surprised not to see a sanity clause 😂 but, then again, we all know……
Really looking forward to trying something new especially with you in the driving seat.
Also looking forward to hearing all about the Wedding (s).
