Valentine Collage with Dita Carley

Go Back

Do you have a special person or perhaps grandchildren who would be delighted with a hand-crafted card you created and made especially for them? Play with paint and crayon and mixed media and learn how to move paint around, experiment with brush strokes, mix colors and play with mark-making. This is where treasures are made!

Participants in this 2 session workshop will create their own collage papers and then create unique and personal Valentine cards. Principles of design and composiion will be explored as you contruct your own masterpieces.
