collage

This incredibly liberating and creatively satisfying project is so much fun! You will paint on vintage paper, rip it up and then use it in your collage along with vintage ephemera to create original and a one-of-a-kind work of art.

So gather your favorite vintage ephemera, paints, pastels, and charcoal and we will create beautiful papers to use in our artwork along with two original collage pieces. I'm really excited to see what you create.
