COLLAGE: CUT, PASTE, CREATE! - SOLD OUT!

Wednesday, September 6, 2023, 10-5 at 310 Art in Asheville, NC

$145 includes all materials

Go beyond the vision board and stretch your creative muscles in this collage class! Collage is my way of journaling and it’s the foundation of most of my work. Join me in exploring collage as both a fine art medium and a path of self-expression. You’ll come away with a sense for what combination of glue and surface works best with your own style, how to use collage to spark your creativity, and ways of bringing your own imagery and mark-making into your collages, and so much more!

ENCAUSTIC COMPREHENSIVE - SOLD OUT!

This 2-day class is the perfect introduction to working with molten wax. We'll cover safety, materials, building layers, collage, basic image transfer, color mixing, building texture, and even learn to incorporate encaustic-friendly mixed media like oil sticks and pan pastels. It's also a great refresher if you haven't done encaustic in a while, and can help you refine techniques and troubleshoot if you've been learning on your own. I only take 5 students in each session of this class so that each student gets individual attention. Visit the 310 Art website for more information and to register.

Gelli Plate printmaking is my go-to for nature printing (getting quick and beautiful prints from plants), AND my go-to for a day of playful, spontaneous artmaking! This class is for nature lovers, mixed media artists, and those who crave more low-stress creativity in their lives! 

BONUS! I teach printing with oil-based inks that are compatible with encaustic, or can be used for other mixed-media applications.

Encaustic is wonderful for collage because of the ability to build up translucent layers, remove and reposition elements, and create dreamy compositions! In this course, we’ll be working with papers, fibers, wax-friendly mixed media materials, and even dimensional objects. In addition to collaging and building up layers IN the wax, we'll start with mixed-media directly on four 8x8 panels AND we'll be adding in dimensional elements (both things I DON'T cover in my encaustic comprehensive class).
