1013 - Humble Beginnings

$120.00

Humble Beginnings – collage
Sunday 10:30 - 5:30pm

In this class we will explore several collage techniques.  Too often relegated to mundane uses in our studios, we will elevate humble wax paper - in fact celebrate it - for its wonderful tactile nature and its dreamy translucency.  Crumpling, adhering, stuffing, papering, painting, glazing – we will discuss composition, texture and layering.
