Course Description:

Make souvenir collage art as keepsakes of your trip

Every wish you could create art on the road but don't want to pack a lot of supplies? Or come back from a trip with tons of memories (and photos!) that get lost as the day-to-day takes over? 

Come join us for an afternoon of art-making where you'll learn how to collage your travel memories into something you can share with friends and family. Whether you use what you find to make art on the road or shortly after you get back home, there's no wrong way to do it--this is FUN art, not fine art!

After introductions, we'll start with a warm-up and then move on to basic collage: deciding on the background, adding compositional elements--maps from your trip, brochures, postcards, photos, travel lists, etc. Then we'll add textural layers for interest and a finishing flourish to our travel memento "masterpieces"!  

Adult Beginner, no experience necessary

Cost: $62.50
