Through 2-day weekend workshops, discover the boundless world of collage through the distinctive lenses of two accomplished artists. In this hands-on workshop, inga finch and amanda wander will guide you through their unique approaches to mixed media collage, revealing how different materials and techniques can transform simple paper into compelling visual stories or vignettes.

Inga finch brings a vibrant, image-driven practice to the studio, working with carefully curated magazine clippings of botanical imagery and iconic fashion photography. Watch as she demonstrates how to compose striking narratives through strong and precise composition by juxtaposing color, pattern, and photographic imagery into cohesive works that pulse with contemporary energy.

Amanda wander invites you into a more tactile realm, where printmaking techniques meet the raw beauty of torn papers, hand-stitching, and found objects. Her layered approach builds depth and texture, creating surfaces that beg to be touched and explored. Learn how she combines unexpected materials to achieve rich, dimensional compositions that blur the line between collage and 3-d assemblage.

Throughout the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to experiment with both approaches, discovering which techniques and materials resonate with your own creative voice. You will also have the opportunity to combine all techniques, hanging on to those that help you express your specific flavor of creativity!

No prior experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and willingness to play. All materials provided, though you're welcome to bring personal items or images that inspire you.

Leave with finished pieces that reflect your exploration, new skills to continue your practice, and fresh eyes for seeing the artistic potential in everyday materials.
