About

Meg Hartwell, one of our island artists, is back with her collage techniques. Using archival glues and a variety of papers, fun and exciting images will be created by using color, texture, composition and movement.  Compile pieces by using old prints (bring yours if you have some), old stamps, a selection of beautiful hand-made papers, thin tissue papers, marbled paper, hand-written notes, old maps and diagrams.

Participants will be working fairly quickly collaging imagery together to create their own unique compositions, using the press to flatten their final images.

The purpose of this workshop is to really loosen up, have fun, take risks and enjoy making new work in a different way!
