Embossed Copper Collage Classes

Last week, I had the opportunity to teach a couple classes in St. Louis Missouri and in Evansville Indiana...I am always amazed with the creativity my friends and students share when we're creating together.  



I feel extremely blessed to get to teach techniques that inspire others to make art.  




I wanted to share just a few of the photos from each class. I loved seeing the finished projects, and I think you will love them too.  






At the base of this project is embossed copper...we use embossing folders, copper sheets, and patina solution to create stunning backgrounds for our collage pieces.  


It's an easy technique that gives amazing results.  


Often, students bring family photos, my friend Ann commented that she had relatively few photos of her parents together in the same photo...she pieced a couple photos together to create this tribute to them.  




 I love how this project below has a family photograph incorporated into the collage.
