Create a Rich and layered Artwork with Found Papers
Join me for a relaxed and creative collage class where you’ll learn how to build a beautiful, layered artwork using a mix of vintage book and magazine pages.
We’ll begin by creating a neutral background using vintage book pages and music sheets. From there, I’ll guide you through composing your image with a variety of torn and cut elements, experimenting with colour, texture, and layout to bring your vision to life.
All materials will be provided, but feel free to bring along any special papers, old prints, or scraps you’d like to include in your piece.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or just getting back into art making, you’re very welcome.
