 DRAGONFLY GALLERY AT ROSEDALE PRESENTS:

COLLAGE CO-OP

INVITATION  

to those who enjoy everything about papers: cutting, tearing, staining, stamping, gluing, texturing, transfering -we will cover it!

YES, it is ready to start! 

I have been approached by so many of you to offer a group get together where I teach and share my techniques and collage know-how. After collecting several suggestions and times that are most convenient, I have arrived with what I believe will be a wonderful mix of learning, camaraderie and creative synergism and sharing.

We will start by meeting once a month, the third Tuesday of the month.  There will be instructions and demonstrations every session, with plenty of hands-on, practice time for all in attendance. The next meet up session will include a short critique followed by more new exciting demos and information sharing.  This is open to all levels of artists from beginners to advanced.  

Starting : Tuesday, April 17  10am-12noon

(and continuing for a total of 4 sessions)

Tuesday, May 15   10am-12noon

Tuesday, June 19   10am-12noon

Tuesday,  July 17    10am-12noon

enroll now for all four sessions:  $80

individual session $27.50

Supply list minimal and will change from session to session.  I will put together specialty supplies to use for certain projects for a minimal materials fee.

There will be planning and preparing supplies for each attendee, so I ask all to RSVP before each session.

Please drop me an email if you have any questions or send in a check to Dragonfly Gallery and reserve your spot. Oh, the fun we will have!!  Don’t miss out.
