About this Event
Mushroom Collage Workshop with Sundari Masters
Class Description
Build your own piece of the forest floor. In this hands-on workshop, you'll create a dimensional mixed-media collage that's entirely your own.
We'll start with a short look at collage history and what makes a composition work, followed by a live demo of the layering techniques. Then the table is yours: nearly an hour of open studio time working from a shared forage table stocked with vintage botanical imagery, preserved moss and fungi, and papers to dig through. We'll close by laying every piece side by side for a forest floor gallery share.
No art experience needed. All materials are provided, though feel free to bring your favorite collaging tools if you have them. You'll leave with a finished piece and a say in what SDMYCO makes next: the workshop ends with a short survey to help shape future art programming.
Your Instructor
Sundari Masters is a San Diego collage artist, photographer, and president of the San Diego Mycological Society. She has over 20 years of experience in paper arts, where her dimensional work layers vintage botanical imagery, preserved natural artifacts, and hand-cut paper into scenes from the forest floor. In 2023 her collage won North American Mycological Association's (NAMA) art contest in the mixed media category and was featured on the cover of the Mycophile Quarterly. Behind the camera, she chases the weird and the colorful, the fungi that look like they belong in a rainforest on another planet, not a San Diego canyon.
Her portraits aim to show people the kingdom they're walking past every day: filtering through the air, growing underfoot, capable of healing bodies, minds, and the planet itself. It's a world worth understanding, and worth protecting.
