Do you struggle with approaching the blank sketchbook page? Have you been wanting to learn how to incorporate collage into your sketchbook practice? Are you uncertain about how it might be used as part of your artistic process? Are you curious about how to combine mixed media techniques and materials? If you answered yes to any of these questions then this is the class for you.

I love all things art and often love mixing art techniques and art media in my handmade sketchbooks. Collage gives me a new approach to my sketchbooking practice that frees me from the fear of approaching a blank page and provides me with new ways to use decorative papers I collect and ones that I’ve made myself. In this class we’ll be creating a small handmade sketchbook that we’ll fill with fun collage papers that you can collect or create. Then I’ll share my approaches to mixed media collage sketchbooks in several lessons using a wide variety of art materials.

If you are new to creating your own decorative papers, I have a few other classes that focus on decorative paper techniques that you might find helpful as we begin this class.

Intuitive Art Making: Simple Abstract Watercolor and Ink Techniques

Collage: Techniques to Create Decorative Papers

Mark Making: Beyond the Brush

This class is intended for creatives of all skill levels as it is a simple way to approach creating a personalized handmade sketchbook using the fun of collage and mixed media techniques that will inspire you and help you get creating faster.

By the end of this class you’ll have created a beautiful, inspiring collage sketchbook that opens up your creative process and allows you to approach mixed media sketchbooking in a fun, relaxed way. I hope you’ll join me in this fun class as we combine collage, handmade sketchbooks, and mixed media techniques.
