Book Arts: Collage Adventure

Saturday, January 24 / 10:30 am – 4:30 pm

Great collage combines elements of both structure and free association. Using Katherine’s legendary paper collection and a collaging technique guaranteed to produce fabulous compositions, we will create an edition of collaborative handmade books. In this fun class, you’ll learn ways to both “banish your inner editor” releasing creative play, and then to reign it in, creating a balanced composition.

  • ruler
  • x-acto knife
