Sketchbook Collage
Workshop
Picture
A workshop in creative play 
that is perfect for anyone who is new to collage or for anyone who would like to use
​a sketchbook to explore and have some collage playtime. All levels are welcome. 
​
                  In this workshop you will:
  • Discover the benefits of play in a sketchbook
  • ​Watch a video before the first session that is filled with ideas for starting and building your collection of collage papers​
  • ​Practice collage warm up exercises structured to build confidence 
  • Learn how to create strong compositions  
  • Personalize your collages with papers you paint​​
  • Have access to a private FaceBook group where you can interact with a community of fellow creatives, ask questions and share photos of your materials and collages. 
  • Receive a list of 21 collage prompts to keep you going once the class has ended.


​A sketchbook practice can help develop your collage skills, ideas and style. 
It's a place for your personal exploration where you can be brave - nothing needs to be precious.

You can try things out, make notes and see what happens, what works and what doesn't.

This is a live Zoom workshop. Can't attend each session live because the dates and/or time doesn't work for you? No worries, the classes are recorded and the link for the videos will be sent to all who are registered within 24 hours after the live class ends. We will  meet for two hours on 4 consecutive Tuesdays. There will be demonstrations, but this is a hands-on workshop and you'll be creating collages in class each week. You'll practice and get comfortable with the 'speed collage' warm up exercise that will get you loosened up before each session. We'll start out by working in a minimal style and build from there as we explore different composition styles, techniques, color, pattern, textures and layers. I'll provide prompts that will help you in choosing papers and colors as well as additional prompts and ideas for collages you can work on between sessions to build on each weeks lesson.

"The collage workshop was wonderful, and I now feel so much more confident using collage in my own work. 
Thank you for such a wonderful class."

painted tissue papers
I'll be sharing ideas for making your own collage papers by painting and stamping with everyday objects on a variety of papers. There is a bonus video showing you my technique for creating textured tissue paper by painting it with acrylic washes that can be viewed after the first session. You'll be able to use some of these painted papers in class and you'll still have plenty left for your own future projects. I'll also share ideas for different ways you can store all these new papers you'll have.
