ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

In this 2-day hands-on workshop, you’ll create a 3-dimensional collage, shrine, or shadow box that expresses something meaningful to you.

  • Discover the diverse styles and fascinating history of shrine-making and assemblage art

  • Play with paper, paint, glue, objects, keepsakes, ephemera, natural bits and shiny things

  • Experiment with layering techniques and composition in three-dimensional spaces

  • Delve into the wonderful world of glues

  • Gift yourself with an opportunity for soul-restoring play

  • Come with a friend for a fun getaway

NO SPECIAL SKILLS OR ART EXPERIENCE REQUIRED - JUST A WILLINGNESS TO GET MESSY AND EXPERIMENT WILDLY
