STORYTELLING WITH COLLAGE AND DIMENSIONAL MIXED MEDIA

March 22-29

This hands-on workshop will guide participants in creating works of art inspired by the beautiful city of San Miguel de Allende and the culture. The workshop emphasizes creative reuse of paint, recycling, storytelling, and unique techniques to add to your art arsenal. You will be sent pdfs of many of these techniques the day before a particular class.

This class is held in the historic and beautiful Casa de las Noches in the heart of Sand Miguel.
