The art of integrating collage materials within a monotype composition is the focus of this demo. You will learn about the differences between chine colle and collage and the various adhesives we’ll use while working with dry paper. You will see a wide range of uses and methods of application and how to approach the relationship between an ongoing composition and the collage elements you have to work with.

This 2 hour interactive demo includes questions from participants followed by optional 30 minute individualized Confer and Critique Add-On sessions that may be purchased in advance below or at checkout.
