Description :

COLLAGE: A Fine Art Approach with John Andrew Dixon | Saturday, October 11 | 1 PM - 5 PM 

This workshop with hands-on exercises enables participants to explore the medium of collage under the direction of an experienced collage artist and to create “collage miniatures.” Practical instruction will cover materials, methods, and the aesthetics of visual design, but place the emphasis on improvisation and fine-art experimentation.
Be prepared to relax and to set aside feelings about individual abilities and to let go of any pesky thoughts. The intensive four-hour class is not meant to be an experience merely about craft, but an opportunity to learn techniques within an approach that is always in response to intuitive spontaneity. The instructor asks others to trust that the most interesting and successful solutions are often the least expected ones.

• Workshop participants are encouraged to provide a few found papers and discarded publications. Optional items that may be brought include an apron, burnisher or brayer, a used brush for paste, your favorite pair of scissors, a small piece of sandpaper, plus any special glues/adhesives (no aerosol sprays or volatile substances, please).
• Participants will have the opportunity to work at their own level of experience and degree of manual skill. An appreciation for art history is helpful, but not required. A prior knowledge of collage is a bonus!
