Exploring Mixed Media and Collage Art - June

Explore creative layering and texture in Exploring Mixed Media and Collage Art, a beginner friendly workshop at Tri Arts Project in Castle Rock. Open to ages sixteen and up, this class invites you to experiment with a wide range of materials while focusing on curiosity, play, and creative process.

Instructor Lisa MacKenzie guides you through combining acrylic paint, watercolors, inks, stencils, stamps, and collage elements into layered compositions. You will learn how different materials interact and how to build a cohesive piece through thoughtful layering. The emphasis is on exploration rather than perfection, allowing space to discover new approaches and personal style. All supplies are included.
