Mindful Collage with Char Breshgold

MINDFUL COLLAGE
Join us for an afternoon of creative exploration

This workshop is for anyone interested in exploring collage more deeply or discovering it for the first time. We will work with a wide assortment of colored and textured art papers, scraps of paintings, old book pages, and personal items you choose to add. Collage allows for spontaneous and layered work that can be beautiful, personally meaningful, fun, and easy to do.

I provide cues to help us focus and get started and materials for inspiration. I also share ideas about my process, examples of collage styles and design concepts to help form your pieces.

$65; most materials included

Char Breshgold has been a working and exhibiting artist for 40 years. She paints, often from photos, using her art to tell stories. She incorporates collage in handmade books and multi-layered paintings.

Char is a longtime meditator who finds awareness of her breath to be helpful in creating art. She was a member of The Girl Artists, a collaborative group whose records have recently been acquired by The Smithsonian Archive of American Art. She is currently at work on a graphic memoir in paintings and stories about the AIDS crisis years. Her first published hybrid writing and painting pieces were in Prism, International last fall.
