Collage Games with Levi Diamond, Artist in Residence
Looky Here 28 chapman street, greenfield, MA, United StatesCollage Games! Collage/mixed media can be an overwhelming medium because anything goes. In my work, I like to play games with the medium, ie set boundaries I must adhere by. For this workshop I’ll set some rules & provide some must use materials or themes. Just birds! Must incorporate glitter! All blue! (Examples) Trade scraps with your neighbor & only work with those. (We will definitely do this). Everyone must bring at least one thing to give to someone else to use. $10 June 25th 6:00-8:00 This class participates in Card to Culture Pre-register at LookyHereGreenfield.com
