Abstracting the Mundane: Crafting Collages from Everyday Life
Saturday March 1, 10am - 4pm
Come explore the hidden beauty in everyday moments through the magic of collage art. In “Abstracting the Mundane,” we’ll create and use our colorful, semi-transparent, and patterned papers to compose unique vibrant collages inspired by images from your phone or photographs you bring to class. This class will encourage you to try new techniques, nurture your creativity, and create personal artwork by finding beauty in the mundane.
Piecing It Together – Print, Pattern, and Collage
Six-Week Class March 25, 2025- April 29, 2025
This class invites beginner to intermediate artists to explore nontraditional printing techniques including Gelli plate printing, paste paper, and lino cut stamps to create custom collage papers. Students will then use these papers to craft dynamic compositions on paper, cardboard, and wood panels. Each session fosters experimentation, discovery, and creativity in a supportive and playful environment.
