Participants will learn a variety of methods of decorating, cutting and tearing paper and fabric to design and create unique collages. They can choose to use wood block printing, stencilling, and freehand techniques. The collages can be embellished with simple stitches, beading and sequins, vintage found objects. They can also be embellished simply with very effective drawing methods, which will be demonstrated.  We will also be exploring making small handmade books using the printed papers and embellishments.
