Collage Explorations 1 & 2
3 Day Workshop | Registration opens 2025-04-15 12:00 PM
This intensive is designed for beginners and returning students who wish to explore the collage process with a fun and challenging week long immersion. We will work with a variety of intriguing collage materials such as photo based imagery, maps and other paper ephemera as well as fine washi and other patterned papers. We will transform this material through elaborate cutting and re-assemblage with glues and mediums, as well as in combination with drawing and painting. We will explore both image based works and abstraction through compositions using pattern and repetition, layering and transparency, as well as negative and positive cut out shapes. This course will also explore the rich and vibrant history of collage as well as explore contemporary artists working in collage today.

Donnely Smallwood
Donnely is a mixed media and installation artist. Using found imagery and text as a starting point, Smallwood transforms a wide range of disparate materials by cutting and rearranging. She is most interested in how collage processes, by isolating and transforming images, work to alter and intensify the reading of the material. Her collage and assemblage fragments come together to form book works, collage drawings and elaborate site-based installations.
