Found Fragments Collage
Student Level:
Beginner through Advanced
Only TWO vacancies left!

Create a collage sprinkled with found fragments, ink, and acrylic washes.

Learn collage and composition basics, how to easily create your own inked and washed images, and explore ways to alter and embellish a variety of found treasures.

 

DJ Pettit

You will build your collage on heavy watercolor paper, and layer it on a sturdy base heavy enough to support the elements you want to incorporate (such as found treasures, heavy fabric, or more watercolor paper).

Add your own writing, stamped messages, or text torn from books, to complete your work of art.

No painting experience needed… this is a relaxed and fun workshop, yet limitless in possibilities and inspiration.
