                       See your Junk Mail in a whole new light!
​Join teaching artist Kathy Johnson to see how you can recycle and bring new life to junk mail envelopes by creating beautiful landscape, cityscape and/or abstract collages! 
  • Explore the many fun patterns found on the inside of security envelopes.
  • Tear, cut, use paper punches and add stamps to get the finished look of your preference.  
  • You’ll make a unique notecard with a coordinating handmade envelope (keep envelope pattern for future use) and a few small works that can be used as gift tags for a special package or admired in a small frame. 
  • See finished samples that will provide inspiration and ideas for what you can create
  • Learn about other artists who repurpose materials into their art.
  • ​All materials will be supplied but feel free to start collecting your own junk mail and envelopes to bring along if you like. You may be lucky and find an unusual pattern or a color other than the usual blue and black.
Coffee and light morning snack will be served
Cost: $50 plus $10 for materials*  
Workshop is limited to 6 people
