University Art @ 2550 El Camino Real, Redwood City
$150 (includes all materials)

Create your own beautiful collage story! In this six-hour workshop, we’ll use vintage paper and ephemera to transform ordinary blocks of wood into a beautiful three-part, multi-dimensional collage. 

We’ll pull from my extensive collection of vintage paper, envelopes, images and other beautiful things to find materials and images that speak to you, then use a range of collage techniques to craft story blocks that tell your story. We’ll focus on:

• Basic paper layering and gluing techniques

• Creating effective compositions on and across multiple blocks 

• Selecting and using images to craft a cohesive story

• Transferring images using a simple Xerox transfer technique

• Methods for finishing and protecting your work

You’ll leave the workshop with three finished card deck-sized story blocks you can display or give as a personalized gift, and skills you can use in your own art practice.

All materials will be provided. A list of suggested tools and optional additional materials will be distributed prior to the workshop.

 No previous experience necessary.
