Join artist and ephemera dealer Alesia DiFederico for a 3-part workshop exploring the process of mixed media collage using authentic bits of history, inks, paints and your imagination. Creating art is for everyone, the joy is in the doing!
Part 1: Marking the Way – Creating Collage Papers
Collage fodder is any raw material used to feed collage arts. In this first class, participants will explore different techniques (mark making, color washing, layering, distressing, texturing) to create collage fodder and learn how to incorporate them into a project.
Takeaways include personalized collage fodder, a Mini Ephemera Good Bundle and supplies.
Part 2: Duly Noted – Creating Reclaimed Collage Notecards
The second class focuses on creating personal collage notecards using collage fodder, authentic ephemera and vintage papers. Participants will combine their own collage papers with other vintage elements to create notecards and envelopes suitable for any occasion!
Takeways include a completed stack of personalized cards, an additional set of 6 cards/envelopes and a Mini Ephemera Goody Bundle.
Part 3: The Box of Tricks – Creating with Collage Decoupage
In the final class, participants create collage decoupage boxes using materials from the first two sessions. Transform a basic cigar box into a personal reliquary for treasures!
$35 registration fee includes all materials for the full series.
