Collage is an exciting way to explore materials and textures. Collage art provides the artist with a way to express thoughts, ideas and feeling about experiences and specific subjects.  Nurture your creativity,  have the freedom of experimenting with different media on a variety of flat surfaces … cut, tear, glue, put it all together — use multiple images to tell a story. All levels welcome.
