Mindful Collage with Char Breshgold

MINDFUL COLLAGE

Need a Creativity boost?

Collage allows for spontaneous and layered work that can be beautiful, personally meaningful and is fun and easy to do. We will work with a wide assortment of colored and textured art papers, scraps of paintings, old book pages, and whatever personal items you choose to add. Breshgold will lead a short guided meditation to provide cues to help us focus and get started, materials for inspiration and also share ideas about process, composition, color and design. The class will also include a demo for creating small collage books for those who are interested.

Friday, January 26th 12:30-4:30pm

$75 most materials included
