ABOUT AMY'S CLASS:

All art is collage: music is a mesh of notes, sketching is a tumble of lines and curves, even dancing is a collage of movements. And all art, no matter what the medium, can benefit from the freedom and principles of abstract collage.

Join veteran creator and artist Amy Wynne as she uses the tactile act of ripping and cutting paper to create abstract collages that explore:

  • Working beyond realism
  • Infinite color variations
  • Unexpected pairings of shapes
  • A fun push that takes you beyond your habitual image-making process

Deepen your artistic process with techniques that help us let go of detail, try new color schemes, improvise and track the beautiful remnants of process revealing new directions and inspirations in abstraction.

Let’s ignite your inspiration and let the process of abstract collage be our greatest teacher.
