Testimonials
“I was a novice in a class of experienced artists and I felt like she was teaching just me. The “experienced” artists in class felt the same way. She somehow is able to teach on multi-levels at the same time, encouraging and with the kindest constructive approach.” -Cynthia
“The stencil class was a fun event for our group of friends. Laura is a fantastic teacher. She is patient and positive and explains the process clearly. And wow! The stencils from our group of first-timers was impressive - but the process was even more rewarding.” -Jessica
“Laura is a great teacher – instructive while keeping the class flowing and fun. She both encourages risks and embraces mistakes with helpful suggestions along the way. Highly recommend her art classes for any level of artist!” -Mary
“You gave me exactly what I needed. It is amazing how your analysis of each piece was so clearly conveyed, that as I look at each your comments keep sending me in the right direction. You lifted my spirits, you improved these works, you managed the time efficiently, you listened, and you were not afraid to honestly offer critique.” - Patty
Often, when arranging collage items, a message or theme develops, seemingly like magic. Playing with collage elements can help us tap into our inner thoughts, memories, and creativity. As we experiment, our compositions unfold and help us realize what we think, rather than executing a predetermined vision for our artwork. Explore how content and meaning change as you shift and play with color, scale, texture and subject matter. And see what unexpected messages appear as your create your collage project!
Please note: There is an additional $8 supply fee to be paid at the time of the class to the instructor.
