In this playful one day workshop, we’ll create two mixed media sketchbook pages - one layered, and one simple. We’ll start off with the building blocks: colors, marks, lines, shapes, textures, words, and thoughts. Then we’ll choose one favorite element to feature on the simple page. The rest will become a patchwork of sorts on the layered page. It’s a great way to to make use of *all the things* you create - even the things that seem imperfect. One 4 hour session. Maximum of 10 students.
