Nancy Barch

Workshop Description

This is a one-day in-person Collage Workshop.  Collage has its strength in design.  The composing of various materials is fascinating and often a challenge, however, a very rewarding one.  We will use color, placement and texture to unravel the possibilities this medium gives you.
