If you have ever thought about “painting” with paper, this class is for you. If you are a painter and want to try something different, this class is for you. If you think you are not an artist, this class is for you. If you simply love paper, this class is for you.
Using book pages, sheet music, maps, business envelopes, and other found paper ephemera, participants will create visually interesting compositions with simple collage techniques. This fast-paced workshop will explore the textural qualities and colors of found papers and hone skills in composition, cutting, layout, gluing, and finishing.
