Making mixed media assemblages with found objects and altered images inside the box format.

Explore ways to combine collages with found objects and alternative surfaces in the box format.

Finally, we will help you unify your finished piece and discuss presentation. What we will supply: glues, paints, brushes, scissors, various found papers, miscellaneous found objects, materials for surface making and examples of finished work.
