See You at the Studios!

Our well anticipated ArtEscape! Weekend Intensive finally arrived last night! We’ve been super charged cleaning and setting up the studios for a record size class!

There are over 22 students who have joined in to learn about collage techniques with Claudine Hellmuth. Students travelled as far from Portland, OR and we also had a few of our favorite regulars join us for some collage as well!

Claudine Hellmuth arrived last evening and set up the studios to share her book, Collage Discovery with us. I must say that the beeming grins from everyone’s excitement to meet and work with Claudine has been energizing and inspiring!

The collage techniques were fascinating to watch as students explored layered paper-tearing, processes using vaseline as well as really learning about the joys of gel mediums. Claudine Hellmuth’s book, Collage Discovery inspired many students to join us for the workshop and to pursuit their love of art!
