WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Join us for an inspiring workshop with French-American artist Catherine Cruz and explore the art of collage. Learn as she shares her signature technique for creating visually stunning, richly layered collages using a variety of papers. Catherine will guide you in creating a compelling abstract composition that tells your story. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just beginning your journey, this class will leave you inspired and ready to experiment with new ideas.

What you’ll get from this workshop:

• Methods for sourcing unique collage papers that add depth and character to your work

• Techniques for creating rich layered collages

• Creative ways to loosen up & trust the process

• Strategies for refining your composition

You are highly encouraged to bring your own papers to personalize your artwork like ephemera, prints, old letters, books, decorative papers, tissue paper, etc. Note: glossy paper and magazines will not work well in this process and if you want to use photographs it is best to make laser copies of them.

Materials provided include 12”x12” wood panels, collage papers, brushes, acrylic medium.
