This is an opportunity not to be missed! Work alongside and learn from one of Minnesota's leading, contemporary, collage artists. Sip wine and sample cheese while you work each evening in a relaxed and welcoming environment!
The theme for this workshop is 'Day of The Dead' or 'I Am Minnesotan'. During the complete course of 3 x 2.5hr classes, participants will complete their very own mixed media collage on wood panel of their chosen Kristi Abbott artwork image. The panels will be preprepared with an image transfer ready to commence work. All papers, embellishments and glue will be provided, but everyone is strongly encouraged to bring their own special imagery and materials to add to their piece to fully personalize their panel into a unique artwork. Imagery can include printed images and/or photographs, as well as special papers or significant items that can be glued onto the work.
This is a 3 lesson course, where many of the basics of collage will be taught, ensuring a completed artwork results by the end of lesson 3.
Lesson 1: Learn the skills of cutting using a scalpel, how to include personal imagery and the basics of positioning and gluing.
Lesson 2: Skills and techniques of paper multi-layering and hiding imagery.
Lesson 3: The art of embellishing with mixed media, finishing and sealing.
Participants will leave with;
- A started 12" x 16" or 12" x 12" mixed media original artwork (size depends on image chosen)
- Collage kit complete with Mod Podge, blade & paper samples
- An unforgettable and enjoyable memory along with the skills to continue your collage journey!
