Join in on a new Collage and Cold Wax experience! Whether in-person or via Zoom, learn about the immersive process of collage making with the adhesive and satiny qualities of cold wax medium and oil paint. Combining a variety of thin papers, tissue paper photographs, threads, and fabric, participants will build layers of meaning and media that reveal rich individualized histories with visual appeal. Overlapping, proportion, composition, color and contrast will be addressed, along with line, shape, texture, additive and subtractive mark making, dimension and depth. This versatile medium yields beautiful and varied surfaces. Develop your own expressive creations! All experience levels welcome.
