The Art of Assemblage Workshop Presented by: Not Available
It’s the 3-dimensional cousin of collage.
Who is The Art of Assemblage Workshop designed for?
Her unique workshops are designed for all of you who would love to reuse and salvage: paper, fabric, ribbon scraps, trims, bits and bobs on beautiful assemblages. *Assemblage is an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects.
Whether you're crafty or craft-challenged, this course teaches you how to design unique assemblages using a variety of techniques and your own materials.
The benefits of attending the workshop are:
• Students will learn a great deal about how popular assemblages are today and how they can add them to their own decor.
• They will recycle their material remnants they had at home into artful pieces that might be suitable for home décor or special gifts.
• They will also learn about: design, colour and the best materials combinations. You will be amazed with your finished product.
• They will leave the workshop with their very own assemblage!
Attendees will discover how easy and fun Assemblage is. Gabriela will bring many great ideas on how to put these unique pieces of art together. By connecting with people you'll tap into your natural creativity and create beautiful crowns. The workshops are very hands on and participants walk out with a completed project. Spend quality time your friends, colleagues, neighbors, or family members. Invite them to the class! Bring along your favorite “gals”! Have fun!
INTRODUCTION TO ASSEMBLAGE
