Ready to fall under the spell of collage? Join me for an eight-week course, where we’ll explore the wonderfully scrappy, layered, story-filled world of collage art. Each week, we’ll dive into hands-on exercises that build your skills. Think composition and color… but taught the fun way. Think layering and mixed media… but with zero pressure and lots of “let’s just see what happens.” You’ll work with a mix of found materials, handmade papers, ephemera, textures, paints, and anything else you feel like cutting up.
