Analog Collage and Mixed Media
with Patricia Blanco

Play around with materials, collaging, and photo transfer in this fun four-week class. Over the course of the first two weeks, students will sift through, collect, forage, and collage materials that are inspiring to each individual, then experiment and build a completed piece of artwork. For the second two weeks, students will learn how to incorporate mixed media and photo transfer methods into their projects. This class includes a fee to cover materials, but students are also encouraged to bring different ephemera items to work with. This class is for adults and mature teenagers of all skill levels.
This class is scheduled to be in our print studio, which is only accessible by stairs.
