Tree of Life Mixed Media Workshop

In-Person Workshop

Thursdays April 3rd and 10th 1-4

Tree of Life art has existed, around the world, for centuries. Pottery Tree of Life is an important folk art in Mexico.

In this workshop you will create your personal Tree of Life on canvas. You will examine your own personal symbolism to include on your tree. You will create a meaningful mixed media piece for you or for someone else. 

This workshop is taught by two artists - me and Robina Nicol, local artist and abstract art teacher.

The workshop is two Thursdays from 1-4, on my patio garden in San Antonio Tlayacapan.  Class size is limited to 6 students and includes a goody bag with all the art supplies you will need.

It's going to be fun and you will learn a lot. Sign up soon as the class will be small.

1200 pesos for two 3 hour classes and art materials  

 

Collage For Mixed Media, Thursdays March 6th and 13th

 

In Person Workshop
San Antonio Tlayacapan

Thursdays March 6th and 13th 1-4

ONLY 1 SPOT LEFT

I began making collages my freshman year in college... a very very long time ago. After working as a professional photographer for 30 years and then at Apple as a Creative Trainer, I moved to Mexico. I have been in Mexico for nearly 8 years and in that time took painting classes. Eventually I found my voice with Mixed Media. A large part of my pieces are a combination of painting and collage.

Would you like to learn how I use Collage in Mixed Media and how I make my own Collage papers?

I am giving another in person two day workshop on Thursdays Thursdays March 6th and 13th, 1:00pm - 4:00pm. All materials are provided, including canvases, paint, collage papers, glue, scissors. Wait until you see the students' goody bag!

CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED TO 6 STUDENTS. Ask a friend. It's going to be fun. These classes fill up so sign up soon.
