Event Details

PLEASE NOTE: This workshop will take place at Curly Girl Art Studio, 889 53rd St., Port Townsend.

A fabulous introduction to collage, this Afternoon Art Adventure at Curly Girl Art Studio uses a variety of paper ephemera (printed matter) to create a small collage.  Using a quilting iron, we will adhere the paper items to small boards (approx. 5” x 7”) with aromatic (with no additional scent) melted beeswax. This process is absolutely addicting!

This workshop is for anyone interested in a delightful art experience, anyone just getting started with collage, or for an experienced artist who wants to experience a fun art event.

SUPPLY FEE: $25, payable to Curly Girl Art Studio at the beginning of the workshop. This supply fee covers:

  • A wide choice of paper ephemera (printed matter) such as tissue paper, decorative napkins, maps, text pages, stamps, magazine images, envelopes and more!

  • Wood panels, approximately 5” x 7”, use one or more, depending on your pace.

  • Hanging hardware

  • Aprons provided.

  • Tea, Coffee, Water, Healthy Snacks

ABOUT VICTORIA FOSTER HARRISON – CURLY GIRL ART STUDIO.

Fiddling with rustic patterns and fields of color along with embracing the “perfectly imperfect” are hallmarks of Victoria’s textural Urban Collages which include abstracted photography and mark-making. The heart of her art lies in Encaustic Printmaking – creating original one-of-a-kind prints. Standing at the warm aluminum palette with the alluring aroma of beeswax, she allows the medium to reveal its beauty. As a workshop teacher, her heart fills with satisfaction as she hears reactions from deep within; “You changed my view of art”, “I am in bliss land”, “I felt so successful and encouraged”. The Encaustic printmaking medium speaks volumes.
