  • If you have been in Asheville in the summer, you have had a bear in your yard, passed one on the parkway or you've seen one having a mocha and biscotti at a local cafe. Let's have some fun with this gorgeous, pesky furball. 

    Goals: 

    -Have fun.

    -Learn basic analog (cut by hand) paper collage techniques.

    -Learn how to transfer a photo onto a surface.

    -Basic cutting and gluing, building layers to create depth.

    -Complete the foundation of building a portrait of your favorite fur or feathered friend.

    Materials Provided:

    -Practice boards and panels will be provided. 

    -I will also provide a wide selection of papers and gel medium, some scissors, paper towels, finger cots.

    You will bring:

    - If you have a great bear photo, bring an 8 X 10 paper copy. Otherwise we will use one of my images.

    - Extra colorful papers, magazines, etc., that have a variety of colors and textures.

    - Apron or clothes you do mind getting a little glue on.

    Don't forget to bring a beverage and snack.

    Everyone can do this! Don’t be intimidated. It’s all about learning, experimenting, community and having fun!
