Explore the world of abstract collage-making. We’ll use colorful, transparent, and patterned papers to layer and compose our collages on paper substrates. Through playful experimentation with color, value, and composition, you’ll create dynamic abstract collages that reflect your personal imagery. This immersive experience will allow you to explore new techniques, nurture your creativity, and create expressive artwork. By the end of the class, you will have acquired the skills to make visually captivating abstract collages.

No experience necessary. All materials provided. Preference given to Groton residents until one week prior to the program. This event is intended for adults only.
