MIXED MEDIA & BOOK ARTS
Experience this process of creating a personal deck of unique, collaged cards from found and personal images for the primary purpose of self-exploration, self-acceptance, and soul-tending. It is a fun, engaging, deep and illuminating process that is all at once a form of creative play, self-care and personal reflection. The cards that you make contain images you select – or images that select you – and come straight through your intuition, bypassing the mind. Your SoulCollage® deck becomes like a journal, as a way to know yourself and a way to reveal yourself to others. You may consult the cards for guidance and wisdom regarding issues in your life. Absolutely no art experience is necessary. Although designed for beginners, experienced SoulCollagers are welcome.

Inspired by the work of Joseph Cornell and the artistic process of assemblage, you will interpret a poem, short text or personal memory into a 3 dimensional expression. The use of personal items, found objects, recycled papers and other mixed media will allow for a rich palette of materials. Please bring a heavy cardboard, wooden or cigar box, wood frame, small drawer or similar as a base. Basic art materials will be available for use during class. Initially you will be immersed in the world of Cornell as inspiration for brainstorming your design ideas. Throughout this workshop you will be encouraged to embrace the process of interpretation. Please bring poetry or text to class along with any personal items that you would like to incorporate into your box.

WATERCOLOR BATIK FLORA & FAUNA
Explore a unique “batik” process as you create beautiful nature-themed mixed media paintings on Japanese Masa rice paper mounted on canvas. Use the “dropped-in color” watercolor technique to paint flora and fauna on the paper support. This method involves hue fusion, allowing the water to move color on the paper surface to create interesting values changes and textures. Add color pencils, ink lines and collage elements to embellish the shapes. The artwork will be sealed with an acrylic varnish to protect the surface. Materials list provided upon registration.
