Cut, Paper, Paint: A Collage & Mixed Media Collaborative Course


  • 7350 Stockton Ave El Cerrito, CA, 94530 United States (map)

Over the course of 12 weeks, students will work with two artists, Erin McCluskey Wheeler and Laurel Shear, to build skills and techniques working with paper and paint. With collage as a starting point, you will learn new ways to approach abstraction and composition, gain new insight into color relationships, and build good art making habits to sustain your creative energy. Classes will be taught alternatively by each instructor allowing students to learn from two different artists, both highly skilled at mixed media work. Each class will feature critique and feedback, demonstrations, and introductions to other artists' work through slides and images. Students will have access to their own private art sharing platform to post and share work. Open to students at all levels of experience who are looking for a creative community and lots of ideas to make art.

Laurel and Erin will also send each registered student a pack of collage papers assembled from their studios - each paper pack will be unique and may be used for class projects or to spark other projects.

Classes meet on Zoom from Saturday mornings from 10 am - noon (Pacific time), April 3 - June 19. Classes will be recorded and can be available for students who need to miss a class.
