Collage by Lynn Whipple

____________________________________

Hi!

Two weeks ago I made a quick trip to Colorado for my mom’s 82nd birthday, and it always feels that the time before and after these short trips gets lost somehow!

Three things:

1. Melinda Tidwell’s NEW, wonderful class started today and it’s not too late to join! In Fine Art Collage with Melinda Tidwell you will use old and discarded books to make beautiful abstract works. Melinda really loves composition and design, and it was a pleasure when we filmed this class watching her work. Details HERE, join anytime!

2. Sketchbook Revival is a free online event hosted by illustrator Karen Abend and it is happening right now! My short interview/sidewalk crack session went live yesterday… find it HERE, and click HERE to sign up to receive the emails the next two weeks!

3. Finally, the second session of 2019: Year of the Collage begins in two weeks! In this session Lynn Whipple leads us through numerous fun collage projects and exercises. If you already signed up, look for your welcome email soon! And if not, it’s not too  late to join! Here is a quick video from Lynn and some artwork from her lessons.

Hi everyone! It’s an embarrassment of riches over here at CSP this Spring. We’re really honored to bring to you a new instructor, Melinda Tidwell. We love her work so much, and this class is wonderful. — Carla & Steve

Fine Art Collage with Melinda Tidwell
6 Lessons – 3 Weeks – $85
April 23 – May 9, 2019

Book Collage is part treasure hunt, part deconstruction and discovery, and part reconstruction and art-making. Your journey begins at the thrift store and ends with surprisingly cool framed pieces of art on your wall. Every part of this journey is interesting and fun.

We will be deconstructing both hardback and paperback old books to mine them for materials for collage. We look at design principles for abstract composition, a bit of technique for gluing, and then a myriad of ways to alter book materials including: cutting, tearing, sanding, holepunching, sewing, drawing, punctures, etc.

In this three-week, six-lesson class we will work on up to ten small collages. I hope you’ll join me.
