Get started or expand your collage experience as you design and make your own frameable artworks from a variety of colorful papers and glue. Guided by teaching artist Susan Farrer, you'll create several 8" x 10" collages while learning about collage techniques, design forms and composition, how to choose colors, and ways to create interest. No previous art or collage experience needed!
