Create It Collage It

With Lisa Agaran

Saturday July 30
10:00 am – 3:30 pm (PDT) / 1:00 pm – 6:30 pm (Eastern)
(Lunch break: 12 Noon-1pm)
Live on Zoom
Non-Zoomer option available (View details below)

What makes your mixed media artwork 100% original and unique is creating your own collage materials. This approach moves you beyond pre-designed stencils or patterns that have been duplicated by other mixed media artists. Each of us has our own artistic preferences when it comes to color schemes, certain patterns and designs. This influences our unique artistic style. Therefore, when you create your own collage materials, they are infused with decisions and choices that you made during the creative process. This is uniquely your own. Having a nice collection of your own custom collage materials provides a wider selection to choose from when you’re working on your mixed media projects.

Join me as we spend a day having fun creating a variety of collage materials. I will take you through different techniques such as Gelli plate printing, mark making, and creating your own stamp designs with a hot glue gun. Then we’ll pull it all together to create an artistic collage piece. Adults 18+
