Akron Soul Train’s October fellow Jenniffer Omaitz is conducting a workshops about the basics of collaging.
Jenniffer Omaitz will be teaching a brief introduction to the concepts and methods of collaging in this workshop. While gaining popularity in the 20th century, collage, or formally known as paper collé is a form of assembling disparate parts of paper and images to form new associations. This workshop is both lecture based and hands on. We will feature a historical introduction; a condensed history of collage and its persistence as a vibrant and necessary form of the creative process. This will be followed by the introduction of hands on applications that will allow artists and makers to easily begin the process. Additive and subtractive paper techniques, transfer techniques and acrylic mediums will be introduced as forms of attachments and layering in this fun and complex process.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a variety of flat material for trade and participate in making a few works on paper. A $5 suggested donation will be collected at the door. Workshop is free for AST ... view more »
