MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE WORKSHOP

The art of collage offers enormous creative potential...easy and non-intimidating for the beginner and expansive and challenging for the advanced artist.

Join Cathy Taylor, award winning mixed media artist and member of the National Collage Society for an exploration into the limitless world of collage.

Topics include found paper collage, fumage, photomontage, collage with mixed media, rice paper collage, frontage, photo transfer techniques, found object collage, and monoprinting into collage along with other exciting techniques. Each session will begin with exciting, fun filled demonstrations followed by lots of time to create.
