A great new class on Thursday - Collage with Laura
Laura brought so many different types of paper with her, it was amazing, plus our craft ladies had also brought some with them.
Laura explained the glue medium we would be using and the silicone 'brushes' and we had a practice piece of MDF to work on, some papers are definitely easier than others to use.
There is a technique to choosing and placing your pieces that Laura explained, and then after that you can incorporate text, handwritten words, use paints, inks, stencils, the world is your oyster!
These are just some of the boxes of paper Laura has! Tissue, hand printed, newspaper, marbled paper, sewing patterns, maps, music paper, so many treasures in those boxes!
I first met Laura at an Art Exhibition when I fell in love and bought her big piece 'Gratitude', so we had a good look at it, and Laura explained her process.
She had also laid out some of her other pieces of work and sketchbook for everyone to look at.
Thanks everyone for coming and to Laura for such a brilliant, really fun and relaxing class.
