A portrait can be serious or funny, introspective, outrageous and/or provocative. You get to select the component parts that make up the image, and you get to assemble the parts that make the final collage. That’s the fun of collage!

Plan to embellish the collage with purchased, found, and personal items: photos, letters, poems, pages from books, newspapers, magazines, fabric, lace, maps, awards, ticket stubs, vintage postcards, game pieces, cards, toys, ephemera, buttons, trinkets, jewelry, etc.

The workshop will include a review of sample portrait collages, including historic forms. We will discuss color and design. All sessions include demonstration on how to work with 2D and 3D elements, and how to get them attached properly, cleanly and evenly without tears, folds and bubbles.

All basic collage materials will be provided: papers, glue, collage tools, paints, brushes, pen, and pencil. Participants should bring items that relate to their subject: photos, graphic images, photocopies (digital printouts), letters, etc.

Classes include discussion, demonstration and critique. Every student gets individual attention.
