Class Description
This is a great way to create enchanting, mystical mixed media works and fold and bind them into small books or journals! The Wabi-Sabi aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. Learn a new way to approach mixed media collage! We will also learn three ways to create image transfers. Each participant will have access to a variety of patterned, and fibrous papers, and one large base sheet to collage onto for the accordion book, 5 pre-cut pages for book pamphlet covers, drawing papers to place into the pamphlet covers, a multitude of threads and a needle, permanent waterproof pens, various inks, acrylics, and stains will be shared with the class. Beginners welcome!
Materials List
Please bring scissors, paper towels, and wet ones. If you have these on hand: vintage papers, ephemera, handwritten paper, laser copies with small images (3” or less.). You can never have enough paper!
Minimum Age
16 and older

Louthian-Stanley's works represent the physical and emotional sensations, which carry the viewer into an intimate visual narrative. She has received many artistic honors and awards, has been featured in several publications, and has artworks in corporate and private collections locally, nationally, and internationally. She is currently one of the 26 Master Instructors for Painting With Fire an International Encaustic Workshop for 2023.
