Crossing Arts Alliance upcoming workshop: Terrarium Collage & Paper Printing with Lisa Ackerman

The Crossing Arts Alliance, a 501c3 nonprofit arts organization located in the heart of downtown Brainerd, offers arts workshops to the community in a variety of mediums. Opportunities coming up include:

Terrarium Collage & Paper Printing With Lisa Ackerman

August 6 – (Session 1) 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, (Session 2) 1:00 – 3:00 pm

In the first part of the workshop, students will learn to print their own colorful papers by monoprinting on a gelli plate with acrylic paints. We will explore adding texture through mark-making, and create a full color selection of prints that can be used in an assortment of projects.

After a short lunch break (12:00 – 1:00 pm), students will return to use those papers to create a collage on a wood panel. A template will be provided to guide students through the creation of a terrarium scene. We will discuss layout and techniques for adhering and finishing the image.

Students will keep their 5×7 gelli plate, brayer, glue stick, and paint set after class, a retail value of $62.

There are a number of restaurants within walking distance if students choose to leave for lunch, or they may opt to order in or bring their own lunches.

This class is $80 per person. Class size is limited to 6. Crossing Arts members, as a benefit of membership, will receive a $10 gift card when attending the class.

To enroll, call TCAA at 218-833-0416 or visit www.crossingarts.org/workshops. Pre-payment is required. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before class may not be eligible for a refund.

Classes will be held at The Crossing Arts Alliance at 711 Laurel Street, Brainerd, unless an alternate location is listed.
