The purpose of the workshop is to teach techniques in mixed media so that each student can best express herself/himself in their own ‘voice’ and not that of the instructor. While a high level of experience is not necessary, your success ratio will improve dependent upon your previous art background. So while beginners may struggle, they are welcome.

 The images I’m sending will illustrate the need for good design but beyond that is the appropriate material use for the scale of your painting.

 In these images you will see collage elements consisting of fabric, found papers, acrylic paints and more, all of which will be taught in workshop along with a simple method of image transfers and the use of created text printed on colored tissue or waxed papers.

 Some of the linear work is done with textile or ‘puff paint’ much of the stamping is done with wine corks or styrofoam from food packaging. All printing is done without the use of any sort of press, just  basic monoprinting on Plexiglas or directly onto the surface using acrylic paint.

 All the materials are water based and non toxic.
