Transformations: Citra Solv Art 9:30 am -1 pm

Repurposing is trending in the art world. This two part flagship class takes clay coated magazine pages and transforms them into abstracts. The outcome is fresh and different every time, and as a bonus, lends itself to creating a stash of papers ready for later use in art journals, collage, card/bookmaking, or home decor. Citra Solv makes this “wow factor” change occur, but this class takes it further and focuses on new composition as we manipulate the papers with different tools in additive and subtractive manners. Lots and lots of papers will be transformed as the techniques are practiced. With each new piece comes skill, confidence, and a certain boldness. Enthusiasm is contagious in this class so it’s usually hard to get students to move along to the finishing, but one favorite will be selected, finished off with new media or embellishments as desired, and matted. No two pieces will be alike as each outcome will be determined by the random play of the inks and the different point of view of each explorer

LUNCH 1:00 pm -2:00 pm (Bring or eat out )

Citra Solv Collage 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

The second class will continue in the afternoon after lunch and the focus will become collage-based. We’ll play with shape, symmetry, design principles, and more media along the way as we explore whimsical nature stencils, masks and mark-making to create pieces that are uniquely yours. I will supply a second matting kit for your collage creation.

NOTES:

**You are invited to take both classes, but you are allowed to come just for the morning class. You cannot just take the afternoon class because I will not be demoing the dissolution process again.

**This class uses Citra Solv, a non-toxic, orange-smelling cleanser as well as a few alcohol-based inks. We will minimize air exposure as much as possible.

**Student Material List: Students should bring a Size 1 liner synthetic brush, ruler, thin permanent black marker, UHU glue stick, scissors and any favorite stamps/stencils/small embellishments.

**Nancy will supply all media, gloves, substrates, mats and table protection.
