Description

Which of your family stories, heirlooms and memories would you like to preserve? And what do you think future generations will appreciate knowing about you or your ancestors? The art of paper collage can serve to illuminate and document with greater depth stories about family and family history. This highly interactive workshop will have you making your own paper collage memories. Bring materials from your family – photos, maps, documents, images of heirlooms, etc. We’ll walk through the steps of choosing a theme, selecting images, and laying out a first, simple collage. No art experience necessary! Basic design tips will be taught. Supplies and hands-on help will be available. You’ll leave with experience, your first collage and instructions for making many more. Prep materials will be given after registration.  Artist Facilitator is Debra George Debra loves the creative process.
