In this class we will explore and produce elements to use in creating our individual collage pieces. We will focus in on line, edges and color as well as texture, shape, pattern and scale to create unique images with collage. Through various exercises we'll begin to rethink how we approach and start to build our pieces. Come join me in exploring many different ways we can invent or reinvent the use of paper in collage, and adhere a multitude of possibilities. Leave your decorative papers tucked away and come create something original and all your own. All experience levels welcome. Maximum of 6 students. Two 3 hour sessions
