This workshop will focus on helping students transform their works on paper, including drawings, paintings and prints into mixed media pieces, with a focus on collage. Instruction will be based on a student’s individual interests and skills and thus is appropriate for beginners through advanced level. Printing methods including monotype, collagraph, frottage and image transfer will be taught. Former students are encouraged to bring in previous work that they consider unfinished or unsuccessful as a starting point for their mixed media experiments and creations. Students will have access to the etching press and printing inks to develop new prints to add to their pieces. See materials list for detailed information on supplies.
