About this Event

A Weekend Workshop to Explore, Experiment, and Express!

This two-day Collage/Mixed Media workshop focuses on teaching participants to discover their own artistic cosmos and personal artistic voice initiating them into collage and mixed media. Over the weekend, you'll learn essential collage and mixed media techniques while diving into your own creative process.

Enjoy 4 three hour sessions over the weekend, aka a full immersion into developing your artistic voice through modern art techniques. Morning classes are blend of art history and live demonstrations, afternoon classes offer plenty of guided studio time. With only 12 participants everyone will be supported in their art-making process. You will make new discoveries and develop your skills—and walk away with two finished artworks that reflect your unique artistic perspective.

Whether you’re just starting out or already have some experience, this hands-on course offers a full creative immersion into techniques that ignite imagination and unlock artistic expression.

"Annette gave just the right amount of history, theory, instruction of technique and most importantly the freedom and independence that encouraged and enabled us all to explore our own imagination and discover our OWN creative practice." V.M (writer)
