Mixed Media Collage: Holiday Workshop @ STEAM on Wheels

Mixed Media Collage: Holiday Edition with Studio 2 Makings!

Here are the essentials:

When: December 19th, 6:30-8pm (90 minutes)

Where: STEAM on Wheels, 2106 4th Ave Rock Island, IL

Cost: $35

Class limit: 12

You get to take home: One collaborative collage, one finished 8x11 inch piece mounted on archival cardstock, and digital tutorial resources so you can continue making from home!

What makes this special: This isn't your average make-and-take collage class! Join eco-artist Meg Hollister in learning to create mixed media collages in an interactive, collaborative environment. Participants will master 5 different collage techniques through hands-on demonstration and practice, then create their own unique piece with professional guidance.

You'll leave with TWO collages—one co-created with the group during the learning phase, and one personal masterpiece professionally mounted on archival cardstock. This workshop is movement involved! Create art with others, practice flexible thinking, and learn to bring your physical environment into your art via found object integration, relief tracing, and creative collaboration.

Meg has worked to curate unique materials and high quality, archival supplies to create your masterpiece including:

• Handcut lino-cut stamps
• Vintage books and illustrations
• Holiday-themed ephemera: vintage sheet music, seasonal books, and festive papers
• Handmade mixed media paper
• Various unique ephemera: pressed botanicals, film strips, labels and doodads, and various paper types
• Archival cardstock mounting for your finished 8x11 piece
• Archival sealer to help your collage last the test of time
• Paint, ink, and drawing supplies

Refunds: Due to supply planning, tickets are nonrefundable. So please, make sure to double check your calendars! Ticket transfers will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
