Unleash your creativity and come play with paper and experiment with fabric! The options for individual style and creativity are endless. Laurie's creative paper art uses cut magazine pieces to build a landscape. Students may bring in fabric swatches to use as a fun, experimental element in their collages as well. Laurie will present the fundamentals of her process and give you a few helpful principles of color theory so you can collage your own landscape based on a photograph of your choice. As the week goes on we will also play with making paper flowers and floral arrangement collages. All you need to bring is a sense of adventure! This class will be held in the morning and repeated in the afternoon.
