35 - Paper Mosaics & Paste Painting (August 20-22) - Class Fee $ 210

Lorrie Grainger Abdo This exciting new class will definitely put both sides of your artistic brain to use.  First, using a playful intuitive approach, you’ll use paint, paste and a variety of texturing tools to decorate sheets of paper.  The technique gives great first-time results, and, with some practice your sheets will have an amazing depth and detail.  By the time you’re done working “wet,” you’ll have a large assortment of paste-painted sheets to use for paper mosaics in class, as well as lots of extras to take home for use in collages, books, journals, greetings cards or as frameable works of art.  Mid-weekend, we’ll switch sides of the brain and start assembling paper mosaics.  While paper mosaics can be made by carefully placing one piece of paper at a time, in this class you’ll learn the trick of making sheets of paper tiles so that you can work faster and with better control.  Possible projects are picture frames, mirror frames and other home décor items, as well as artistic works on wood supports.  Materials fee of approximately $45 for pigments, paste, paper, laminate film, support boards and related supplies.  For all levels.
