In this sixth class of the 100 Days of Collage series, we’ll dive into the limitless possibilities of mixed media. Collage becomes even more expressive when paired with paint, printmaking, stamping, and symbolism, allowing you to tell layered stories and bring new dimensions to your art.

Across seven prompts, you’ll experiment with celestial-inspired collages, shimmering with metallic foils and deep night skies, and discover how watercolours can merge with paper to create luminous textures. You’ll learn the art of Gelli print image transfers, incorporating found imagery into your collages in unexpected ways. Bird motifs, door symbolism, and stamped textures offer further opportunities to explore both meaning and technique. The week ends with a mixed media medley—bringing together your favourite discoveries into a piece that celebrates your growing skills.

This class is about curiosity, experimentation, and the joy of combining different materials into one expressive artwork. Whether you’re layering paint washes, printing, stamping, or collaging symbolic imagery, you’ll see how mixed media can expand your creative voice and give your pages depth and richness.

All levels are welcome, and these prompts are designed to work with whatever materials you have on hand. Come ready to play, explore, and discover new ways to celebrate your creativity through collage.

There’s so much to learn and so much fun to have. So let's gather our materials and let's make art!
