Collage Winter Landscapes into Holiday Greeting Cards
Class | Available
Turn “oops” watercolor paintings and paper scraps into charming holiday greetings in this one-day collage workshop.
Using torn-paper techniques, students will learn the fundamentals of collage while upcycling watercolor remnants into fresh landscape and forest scenes.
Create a set of four 5" x 7" greeting cards—make each design unique or work in a coordinated series. Theme prompts focus on trees and landscapes, and sample projects will be available for inspiration.
Collages will be mounted on provided cards for frameable mini works of art. Add an optional calligraphic message inside or leave them blank for gifting.
- Four (4) Cards and envelopes are provided. Calligraphy markers will be available for interior greetings.
