This fun and easy collage class works small with a BIG punch! Join local artist Fran Meneley for an online class to learn how to alter a postcard with collage and simple paint techniques. Your humble card is now transformed into a small piece of art, suitable for sending through the mail or even framing. Fran begins class with a slide show of collage ideas and then demonstrates her favorite techniques for simple altering. She’s created a kit of materials for you to work with. The kit contains two postcards from her eclectic collection, a little packet of ephemera from her studio, a handout with resources and recommended books, plus a few other goodies.

Using scissors, a glue stick, some paints and pens, and a few favorite magazines of your own as fodder for collaging, you’ll complete a couple of altered cards that are ready for a stamp and a brief note. Join the “slow communication” crowd and connect with a friend through a message made more personal because you designed it. Think of how delighted your friend will be at the fun surprise in their mailbox!

This online class will be recorded and made available to class participants for 10 days after the class.
