Find new dimensions to your creative process through collage and mixed media experimentation. Develop active interconnected surfaces with a variety of papers from many sources, fabric and botanical elements. I will demonstrate dying and manipulating papers and my methods for building a painting using paper fragments and printed images. Included in the workshop will be cyanotype printing and alternative methods and materials. Students will work open-endedly, foster the element of surprise in their work and be inspired by unexpected visual connections. Cross pollination and a lively class environment is encouraged, rich with shared ideas and inspiration. This is the perfect workshop for artists of all levels, working in any media. Continuing and advanced students will be guided to enrich and deepen their imagery.
Students taking both sessions will not find it repetitive! We will all learn a great deal from each other.

Many varied collage materials will be provided, and students are encouraged to augment this with their personal collection of papers and printable materials. Students will have the opportunity to print some images at the AAN. Please bring surfaces to work on: hardwood panels, boards, and/or heavy paper. A more detailed list of suggested supplies will be available.
