In this workshop, Marcie will guide us in exploring how to use both wet and dry materials to craft one-of-a-kind collages. By incorporating various textures and layers, we can express ourselves in ways that a single method simply can't achieve. Mixed media art inspires artists to unleash their creativity and challenge the limits of conventional art.Working in mixed media can be liberating. Experiment with materials (dry and wet) to create unique collages. Add textures and layers including photo transfers. All skill levels are welcome.

Paper: Mixed media paper 9” x 12” or larger.
