Class Description:

Join award winning collage artist, Mimi Damrauer, for another fun day creating a handmade “Look Book” and Gift Tags using handmade collage papers that you make yourself during our workshop!

Learn how to make your own beautiful collage papers using a large Gel Plate (no previous Gel Plate experience necessary). We will use those papers to create a book to use as a journal, a photo book, or an original gift card. You will also make Gift Tags using the same process. Also learn how to make simple Decorative Washi Tape & other beautiful Collage Clusters.

I will supply lots of fun embellishments like ribbons, more fun painted papers from my own stash, hand-dyed threads and lots of other trimmings for you to be inspired by.

Feel free to bring any of your favorite papers (any journal papers, photos, or images that you love and want to incorporate) to make your artwork more personal.

You will leave with your own stash of gorgeous papers, a completed personal book and a few gift tags and lots of ideas and memories of a really fun day!

Projects:
COLLAGE PAPERS: Make a fab stash of 8x10 Collage Papers with some of your stamp shapes. If you took my other Gel Print class, these papers are different and next level!
LOOK BOOK: Learn how to use the gorgeous papers that you make in our workshop in a simple but really fun book that can be used in many ways. I’ll have a bunch of samples to show you.
GIFT TAGS: These are super cute to use for holiday gifts!

All supplies included for the class. Just bring your lunch and drink. Wear paint clothes or bring an apron.

6 Hour Class + Lunch Break in the middle.

 

Instructor Biography:

About Phoenix based paper collage artist Mimi Damrauer...

Mixed Media Collage is a culmination of everything that I love... painting, fiber (paper & fabric), & sewing.

My work is Outsider Art (self-taught) and has a primitive folk art feel. I grew up in a creative family with a love of travel, and that is reflected in my work. I mainly work in a series, creating an original piece and exploring that idea/design by altering color and/or size to create related pieces.
