Telling Tales Through Collage
with Miriam Vukich
August 16, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
Tuition: $100
Materials Fee: $10
In this workshop students will learn to tell a story through a cut paper collage on a painted canvas support. Demonstrations will guide students through organizing clippings, hand cutting images, and unique methods for assembling and affixing images to create an evocative work of art. Canvases, adhesive, and an archive of magazine clippings will be provided.
Plan to bring: Your cutting tool of choice (scissors, X-acto knife, or rotary cutter) and any clippings or ephemera you would like to collage.
