Materials List:
-Papers you want to work with – also pieces of interesting paper will be available
-Old but useable flat brushes, not too big or new if you don’t have old. Brushes can be cleaned
-Anything you want in your piece - if thick, mounting techniques will be described. Thin buttons, flat keys, stamps, foreign money, wallpaper, game cards, etc.
-Scissors - regular and small with tiny skinny blades - please sharpen them, if needed
-Archival pens. Pastels, Watercolor or Acrylics can be used in your background or as part of your piece
-Mount will be determined when you come - don't be too adventurous on your first piece. Suggest: 9x12 or 12x16 good quality watercolor paper. (or the size that will fit a pre-made frame)
-If you want a little glue to take home bring a well-washed shallow plastic container with a lid.
-An old typewriter is available if you want to use a quote printed on brown paper or any kind of paper.
This is fun! Don't feel overwhelmed or needing to be perfect right out of the gate. I have thrown out lots of efforts, even unframing pieces that I later felt didn't seem so luverly.

Instructor: Ms. Gail Scannell
I have been creating for decades and have taken many classes. Mary Moquin has been giving me a broader vision for my art for two years. I have moved from Folk Art and realism to abstraction in Acrylics, water color, and collage. I look forward to sharing my good and 'oops' moments in art.
