For centuries, collage has been used to preserve family histories, to make love letters, and to protest tyranny. In this inaugural retreat at Double M Ranch at Delavan Lake, Wisconsin, I’ll be introducing you to this highly versatile and accessible medium — one that I’ve been working in for over 15 years.

We’ll begin with a short history of the art, move into a few games, and then follow along with assignments designed to introduce you to a variety of techniques. Not quite a beginner? I’m happy to go in-depth with more advanced techniques and concepts. First time? Terrific! This is a perfect opportunity to explore a new creative outlet.

Bring your own materials if you’ve got a project in mind, or use what I provide! All you’ll need to bring is your glasses (if you use them) and a pair of tweezers, I’ll provide the rest.

Speaking of rest, I’ll be leading this class as an intensive, but our beautiful venue will provide ample opportunity to relax and wander. Sit by the water, go for a stroll, have a nap; set your own pace! We’ll sit down to share delicious home-cooked meals and you’ll have access to non-alcoholic beverages at any time. Feel free to bring your own boozy beverages.

Tuition covers instruction and materials, lodging, and all meals. Can’t wait to see you.
