We'll get our fingers flowing and our minds moving... Join us for a workshop filled with techniques to play with and apply to your own creative projects. Like all great artists, we'll begin with the blank page and apply our learned collage elements.
Let's play with paper & paints, stamps & ink, images & ideas, scissors & shapes.
Students will explore and practice the concepts of layering, paper tearing, using different adhering tools, color-ways and composition. A variety of techniques will be introduced throughout this class. We’ll discuss the joy of using “originals”. We’ll create a“sketch-book” of collages.
All collage materials provided: Students please bring xacto knife and/or tiny scissors and your glasses!
As with any project that can be personalized, feel free to bring anything you might want to use for collaging in class or anything you might want to share with others.
Space is very limited!
ABOUT MOLLY C. MENG

Molly C. Meng studied literature with a personal minor in collecting other people's lives. An obsession with old ledgers, vintage photos. and every single discarded book that exists, her work reimagines the untold stories behind the otherwise forgotten items of every day.
A self-taught artist, the medium of collage in both paper and textiles is Molly's dominant form of communicating. She successfully weaves the elements of ephemera and storytelling into each piece she creates.
The spectacular beauty of the ordinary is elevated with detail in her work. Molly's work has shown nationally in both museums and galleries located in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Wisconsin and Montana. She has produced large scale commissions for interior designers, personal homes and a number of Prometheus apartment complexes in Northern California.
Other than creating her own artwork, Molly helps adults and young people lean into their unique talent by teaching creative workshops around the U.S. as well as on an annual retreat in the South of France. Molly C. Meng is currently living and working in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
