The Layered Page — a creative online course rooted in slow art, soulful expression, and the tactile joy of working with your hands.
Through a thoughtful blend of printmaking, gelli printing, monoprinting, collage, and mixed media, you’ll learn to build deeply personal and richly textured artworks one layer at a time. This course is designed for the artist in everyone — whether you’re a seasoned maker or simply longing to reconnect with creativity.
We’ll explore rhythm and repetition, paper and pigment, bold marks and quiet textures. Using approachable techniques and everyday materials, you’ll create pieces that are not only beautiful, but meaningful — pages that carry your voice, your story, and your sense of wonder.
Each lesson is designed to inspire experimentation without pressure. You’ll gain technical skills while also cultivating creative freedom, intuitive play, and a renewed connection to beauty and presence.
Come ready to explore. Come ready to layer. This is art as process, practice, and joy.

Daune Pitman
Daune grew up among a family of entrepreneurs, artists, and gatherers in North Carolina. She owned her first business when she was six and created pen and ink drawings of the beach each day after school, and then went door-to-door selling them. Morning walks in the garden, markets, coffee, fresh flowers, books, a beautifully set table, delicious food, faith, family, travel, adventure, great company….these are a few of her favorite things.
Daune and her husband, Keith, are former professional ballet dancers. After spending many years performing professionally in companies nationwide she and Keith have found themselves nestled in a cottage in Eastern NC, where they love to gather people, dream, and launch adventures. After homeschooling their three children, they are new empty nesters.
She believes our homes are our most powerful place of ministry, and with a passion for home, gathering, creativity, and travel, Daune launched The Cottage Table Experience and hosts long table gatherings, live workshops on creative home + hospitality + gathering, and creative retreats abroad and in the U.S. While being very content with where she is, she is homesick for places she has never been, and believes wholeheartedly that we should seize the common occasions and make them great!
