This Massachusetts Horticultural Society workshop on November 6 from 10 – 5 is designed to be both an enjoyable and playful introductory art project for the art novice and will also help the more experienced artist to further develop their skills in composition, pattern maaking and design. You will be creating interesting shapes, and exploring texture all through the use of collage, at The Gardens at Elm Bank with instructor Nan Rumpf.

 
Together we will create textured paste paper using colorful paint mixtures and a variety of texture tools. We will then use scissors and adhesives to design intriguing compositions using our textured paste paper. The instructor will provide handouts, paper, mounting boards, texture tools, paint mixtures, brushes, and adhesives. 
There will be a $5 materials fee to be paid to the instructor. Time frame includes a 60 minute lunch break. Please bring a bag lunch or money to go out for lunch. The class is $58 for Mass Hort members, $65 for nonmembers. Register at www.masshort.org.
