Tasty Textured Squares - WORKSHOP FILLED -

Gail Russakov

Spend the day creating this grid of textured squares in YOUR choice of decorator colors   We will combine a selection of magazine images, and assorted textured papers which we will cut, paste, and alter in a five step process to create your very own original masterpiece. This class will offer you a new collage technique to add to your altered books, journal techniques and on your ATC’s. This is a resist technique that lets you alter the magazine colors and images for people who can not draw.  We will create the tiles on a 12” by 12” stretched wrap around canvas. This canvas will be ready to display on your wall when you arrive home. The class is a full day class and is for all levels - no experience necessary.
