Cave of Pages
Date: Tuesday, May 25
Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Fee: $95.00

We love the way guest artist Michael deMeng describes this workshop: "I love working with old paper and ephemera. Of course I really love working with it when you can play with the 3rd dimension. I figure why just collage when you can add a little depth and assemblage (pronounced the same way as collage…if you want to be fancy), so it’s time to “read between the lines”, literally. What we're going to do in this class is start off with a cigar box base and using other ephemera, photographs and found objects, we will transform it into a cave of pages. What lurks behind the pages is up to you. Get ready to start reading into things." Students should bring: Cigar Box or shadow box…lid not necessary, a couple of pieces of foam board or matte board (larger than your cigar box opening), Pages from books or ephemera larger than the cigar box, Bits of wire, twine and/or string, Cutting tools like exacto knife and scissors, acrylic brushes, a few detail or line brushes and some flat brushes in a few different sizes, Matte Gel Medium, Paints (acrylic –preferably Golden brand) in the following colors: White, Black, Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold (by Golden), Quinacridone Crimson, Dioxazine Purple, Pthalo Green (Additional Optional colors: Van Dyke Brown, Anthraquinon Blue, Acrylic Metalic colors i.e gold, copper, etc., Interference colors, and any other color your heart desires). Plus, bring Glues: E6000 and DAP KWIK SEAL Tub & Tile Adhesive Caulk (White), plus Doodads, found objects (anything…absolutely anything) and collage items and photos.
