Find new dimensions in your creative process through mixed media experimentation, and learn how working with collage and mixed media can jumpstart innovation and inspiration. Sherre shares her process of combining fragments of paper and photographs to develop active, interconnected surfaces that may be transformed further with paint and ink. Students will work open-endedly, inviting the element of surprise to guide their process, searching out message and meaning while benefiting from the lively class environment’s cross-pollination. You may work with your personal collection of papers and printable images, and are also welcome to choose from Sherre’s own treasure box.This is the perfect workshop for artists of all levels, working in any media, and may be taken separately or in preparation for Sherre’s upcoming workshop “Deepening Imagery.” ALL LEVELS WELCOME.

The AAN Studio is equipped with glass top sliding carts that make perfect glass palettes. However, you will want to bring a large plastic bin or tray with palette paper and a lid. Because the studio is used for evening classes and storage room is at a minimum, students are asked to transport their supplies to and from the studio each day. We also supply vegetable oil, dawn soap, and Gamsol for clean up.
