About this Event

Welcome! Consider this your invitation to come share an unforgettable evening of creativity, connection, and immerse yourself in a journey of the senses. Throughout our evening, I'll teach you about the principles of design through the art of collage. You'll get to create your own collage to take home while sipping natural wines in the adorable private room at The Rose Wine Bar, a woman-owned restaurant located in the heart of South Park. If wine doesn't pique your interest, there will be a variety of mocktails and artisan teas on offer.

I'll start the workshop by giving you a brief introduction to art composition essentials, focusing on a different principle every month, so no experience or "creative bone in your body" is required! During our collaging together, you can select from a variety of images I will provide from my personal collection of vintage and contemporary books and magazines and pre-cut materials. Each workshop will be personally curated to the attendee's skill level with more or less guidance depending on their preference. These workshops are great as a one-off experience. However, when attended monthly, the workshop resembles something closer to an in-depth art course. This will lead to a growing understanding of not just collage, but art in general.

Each month we will put emphasis on a different principle of art and design or relevant concepts in art through a fun theme.

January: New Year - Let's explore visual messaging by creating vision boards for the year.

February: Palentine's Day- Let's explore positive and negative space while making cut-out valentines for our crushes and friends!

March: Spring Equinox - Let's celebrate spring by making collages using lush and floral patterns.

April: Ostara - Let's celebrate Ostara by using lines created by the human body in vintage nudie mags. (18+ only)

May: Beltane - Let's celebrate the halfway point between spring equinox and summer solstice by learning about balance and symmetry through creating 2 pannel collages.

June: Summer Solstice - Let's celebrate the sun by building 3-Dimensional collages as a symbol of getting closer to the sun.

July: National Kitten Day - Let's learn about visual texture by celebrating the variety of textures of cats!

August: It's hot - Let's celebrate water by making collages that explore the different organic and mathematical shapes it can take.

September: Autumn Equinox - Let's celebrate autumn by exploring fall color pallets.

October: Samhain - The veil is thin so let's practice intuitive collaging and see what happens.

November: Election Season - Let's explore movement by creating mini-zines.

December: Winter Solstice - Let's thank the year for its gifts while exploring parameters and limitations by making miniature gratitude boards.

About the artist:

I'm a local multi-media artist whose friends affectionately call Cuellar. I have been a resident of San Diego since 2015 and a student of art and design my whole life. With professional artworks ranging from cast metal sculpture, fabrication, installation and experiential art, professional photography, print making, collage to name a few, I bring a broad spectrum of skills and perspectives to my work and events. My most recognizable works were as one of the lead artists for the Modern Times Brewery tasting room build-outs up the West Coast, including Portland, Oakland, Santa Barbara, and Anaheim. One of which can still be experienced in Encinitas.
