Local artist Fran Meneley, who has years of experience putting images together brilliantly, has an approach to the art of collage that’s both intuitive and well-grounded in specific techniques. She starts the class with a few warm up exercises, with everyone receiving the same materials at the beginning of each exercise. The results are eye-opening, instructive, and inspiring. It’s amazing to see how each person’s natural approach produces such a wide variety of small collages. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditional exercises are fast-paced and keep you working from the right side of your brain. There’s no time for anything else! Strangely enough, working this way leads to more meaningful pieces. This is the perfect class to sort through and use up your stash of papers – the cards, illustrations, other images, handwritten notes, theater playbills, tickets to special events, even postcards – that you love but don’t know what to do with. Fran helps you see how to create something new and uniquely yours from these seemingly unrelated items.

In addition, the fee for a class cancelled within this 14-day timeframe by a participant cannot be transferred to pay for another class. These policies are to ensure that teachers are compensated for their investment in materials and in time spent preparing for the class. We reserve the right to cancel a class if fewer than 3 students enroll 48 hours prior to the scheduled class time.
