Mixed Media Collage Book Class Series
First Class Date: Tue, Sept 3, 2024
Your projects will begin with a large piece of watercolor paper. You’ll paint it, cut it to book-sized pages and then make a series of collage papers out of thinner paper. Once those papers are painted, you will use handmade stamps I’ve made to apply patterns in a contrasting color. I will provide black and white pens for you to embellish these papers however you choose. These thinner papers will cut be into shapes and applied to the book’s background pages.
I will provide many images of people, animals or objects for you to cut out, color and then apply to the prepared book pages in whatever color and arrangement you choose. Some of these images are color copies and will not need coloring. Combining the images and composing your pages is my favorite part and everyone has a unique way of doing this. I will teach you a very simple binding method that takes only a few minutes. The result will be something that will surprise and delight you. This is easy! No special artistic skills are required. This class is fast paced and fun! I hope to see you there.
