Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Project/Process
Prerequisite: None

Join artist and author of The Art of Expressive Collage, Crystal Neubauer, in this day-long workshop designed as a stand-alone class, or enjoy a more intensive study when taken as a series in combination with her other two full-day offerings. **The techniques taught and types of tools made in each workshop are unique to that day and will not be a repeat of either of the other two classes in this series.

Come dip, dye, paint, splash, scribble and marble your way through a playful day of creative exploration in color. Utilize your own hand-crafted mark-making tools in combination with traditional and found objects, layer and compose, while learning to let go of perfectionism that inhibits your creative freedom. End the day with a portfolio of material that can be developed into individual works of art or included in your collage and mixed-media fodder for future projects.
