Fanciful Headresses - a fabric & paper collage	Sunday 9 - 4:30	$130
	Kate Thompson

Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Project
Prerequistes: None

In this class I will be teaching you how to create a collage (approximately 8 1/2 " x11", size of image 6" x 5"). We start out with a piece of fabric and on top of that watercolor paper and joint compound. I supply you with a head drawing to be transferred onto the collage. If you want to draw your own face, you can do that instead. I demonstrate how to shade the face with re inkers and white acrylic paint. Another added layer is with acrylic washes. I also will have some images to use for fanciful headdresses that can be transferred onto the face image and embellished.. It's truly a mixed media class because we will be using reinkers, acrylics, pastels, gesso and charcoal to paint with.

Materials fee of $15 payable to Instructor at class time includes:

1/4" angular brush

2" utility brush

watercolor paper
and the use of:

Adirondack re inkers-pesto and eggplant

pdf instructions print out

Students should bring:

acrylic paints-red, yellow, blue and white (I use Golden paynes gray, manganese blue hue, quinocridone crimson, yellow ochre, quinocridone nickel azo gold, and titanium white)

assorted fabrics and lace (can be vintage fabrics and old clothing or bed sheets as well as purchased yardage) You only need a couple of fat quarter size fabrics to use as collage

little scraps of lace and fabrics to collage

I will have ephemera with me, but feel free to bring images that are personal and of interest to you. I will have some fanciful images to collage for headdresses but be on the search for unique images you can turn into a headdress. I have a book by the artist Ernst Haeckel that has wonderful images I use for this purpose.

joint compound plaster and putty knife

fluid matte medium

gesso

pencil and charcoal (HB and 4B)
