Design & Delight: Acrylic Medium Collage and Design

May 15th & 16th

10 AM - 4 PM

Tabor Space

5441 SE Belmont

Portland, OR 97206

I will be teaching this workshop with Nancy Walter, a talented

graphic designer, collage artist and teacher who lives in

Southern California.

Come and join us for a two-day workshop exploring the principles of design and color theory utilizing an acrylic medium collage technique. Whether you are an experienced artist, a crafter, or an art novice, this workshop offers you an opportunity to spread your creative wings. We offer a collaborative environment in which to explore all of your artistic urges.

This workshop will give participants two days to get in touch with their creative center by exploring the use of color and design to create beautiful collages.

                                 

Collage is a medium which opens the doors to creating beautiful, expressive

art.  Unlike traditional wet glue techniques, use of acrylic medium allows the

artist to work with dry material during creation. In the final step, the materials

are heat sealed on to the substrate creating a very smooth integrated image.

This technique allows for the use of a wide range of materials and the flexibility

to manipulate images.

The instructors will spend some time discussing design and color theory, and

demonstrating the technique, but the majority of the workshop time will be devoted to hands-on work by the participants. Our goal is to allow you to experience the joy of creating art. Our goal is to support your process and assist you in opening the doors to your creativity.

Located in lower Mt. Tabor, Tabor Space offers a beautiful setting for creativity, with sweeping views of Portland’s West Hills and Mt. St. Helens. It is close to restaurants on Belmont, has a charming coffee bar in the bell tower, is close to public transportation and has free parking.

Cost: $225.00, includes all materials, tools and informational handouts.
