“Flash and Sparkle in Portrait Collage"
Sequins, buttons, beads, collages, and stencils are the trademark of portrait collage artists like Mickalene Thomas. We will glue certain small objects in some areas of the painting to emphasize the passion for sparkle in our lives. These joyful creations will speak to the heart.
A break for lunch and a relaxed discussion will occur at midday. Please bring your own bagged lunch or feel free to visit one of the restaurants close by on our provided list.
Space is limited. Register today!
