Sketchbook Series Class Two: Mixed Media with Patty Pape

Have you ever wondered how artists develop their drawing and painting skills?  Maybe you want to establish a daily art practice? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is only one answer for you - an art sketchbook! AAWS created this workshop series to explore the advantages of forming a routine sketchbook practice.

This Mixed Media Class is your second class of four. Here, you'll use all sorts of materials to make creative, mixed Media creations and collages.

Bring your handmade art journal (or any sketchbook with mixed media paper) and fill your pages with mixed media techniques including collage, paint, ink, and image transfers. We may get a bit messy, but we’ll have lots of fun! No experience necessary. This is a class for beginners as well as experienced artists.

Students should bring a sketchbook or art journal with at least 90 lb. mixed media paper. Also required is a metal ruler, pencil, black waterproof pen, scissors (fine-point preferred), and glue stick.

**Please note that this class is offered at a discounted price for all due to the Shallow Ford Foundations generosity!
