Paint, Paper, Fabric, & Collage: Adventures in Mixed Media

Adventures in Mixed Media: Paint, Paper, Fabric, & Collage

To be scheduled

Learn how to combine acrylic painting, special papers, fabric, photographs, text, and other mixed media techniques to make entirely new creations!

If you like, come with old paintings on paper, special or interesting papers, fabric, drawings, xerox copies (not inkjet copies) of your own photographs (old family photos? snapshots of family and friends? your own landscape photos or photos from your travels?), or other collage elements you have at home (lace? rubber stamps?) that you'd like to incorporate into artwork. More materials will be waiting for you to create with at the workshop. Go home with two or more paintings!

This workshop is about playing with the elements of art in creative and experimental ways, and is designed for both beginning and experienced painters. It's a great way to give yourself a creative jump start!
