An investigation of collage processes encourages new approaches to seeing and creating an image and connecting to the intentions of your personal vision. In this open studio workshop, participants may follow collage as its own art form or use it as an innovative working or "sketching" process to gain new perspectives in other media (drawing, painting, etc.).  Projects are structured in response to the individual, with creative and technical support. With instructor guidance, participants clarify intention and apply the principles of design to strengthen the content of their imagery. Some creative experience is recommended but not required and all levels are welcome.
