Here are a couple of pieces that I started at my workshop at The Pottery Studio in Orlando. I just finished them today in my studio. In class, we were playing with doing both faces and landscapes on mixed media collage. I also took some photos of the class working easy and playing hard. I can't wait to see what happens!!

Learn the joys of mixed media collage!  The workshop will address working with papers, fabrics, found objects, and past art work.  The materials used will be the choice of each student, but students are encouraged to incorporate some of their own prior art work into new pieces. The objective of the work shop is to explore new mixed media techniques and excavate each student’s authentic voice in their art.
