Mixed Media Collage at New Brewery Arts - Cotswolds, Cirencester

About the Course

Create mixed media collages combining computer manipulated images, image transfer decals and mixed media art with US artist Georgia Velisaris.

Learn how to dye and distress papers as well as other methods to create your mixed media surface. Then use the computer to alter images and to make them suitable for printing into a transfer. Finally learn how to print the transfer and how to apply it to your surface resulting in interesting mixed media collages.

There will be a variety of images already printed up as image transfers for you to chose from. However, Georgia will show you how to make the images using her laptop and all students will receive instructions. If you wish to bring your laptop along to copy the steps then please do, however this is not essential.
