Workshop Description

Unleashing Creativity with Mixed Media

During this workshop we will create abstract works exploring a variety of simple but potentially sophisticated Mixed Media and Collage techniques. We will also touch on Colour Theory. "I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for." – Georgia O’Keeffe The Mixed Media and Collage methods presented in this workshop can nurture creativity in personal artistic practice, and in the classroom. "Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing." – Julia Cameron Participants will be using wet materials so please accordingly. All materials will be provided but if you are a maker and have your own tools feel to bring them, ie. sketchbook, scissors, drawing tools.
