Unleash your creativity as you alter a whole variety of reclaimed papers with art supplies and some unusual techniques:
give photocopies a vintage feel

“What a wonderful stash of collage papers I now have and can continue to build in other colours. I will never have to purchase any again!”
Let’s create unique papers!
beautiful papers that tell a story
When it comes to collage, the more unique your materials are, the more unique and personal your art will be too!
In “Poetic Papers” I invite you to play with subtle effects and a vintage feel, to create one-of-a-kind, slightly moody and vintage-inspired collage papers that convey your emotions and tell a story.
earth & budget-friendly!
Turn materials you already own into a whole stash of beautiful collage papers to use in your art for months and even years to come!
And whenever you need more, you can revisit the workshop and try new ideas. That’s what lifetime access is for!
The class has about 1 hour of video content.
