Collage: Build a Universe, a Workshop with Ric Haynes

Instructor: Ric Haynes
Saturday-Sunday Jul 27-28, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM in the Schoolhouse

Cost: $180/$153 members

Collage: Memory and Imagination will be an exciting and adventurous two-day workshop to explore the possibilities of collage. Working with artist Ric Haynes, students will build and construct multimedia collaged images using diverse materials. Collaborative synergy and personal energy will inform the workshop and lead the group and individuals in new directions and experimental approaches, away from restrictive and confining methods. Participants will create at least three artworks: a group piece, a collaboration with a partner, and an individual work.
This is a fun, exploratory class and and all skill levels are welcomed.
Wear comfortable clothing and bring a lunch or snack.

*Note: There is a $30 materials fee for this class, payable to the instructor on the first day.
