Join artist and teacher Marnie Jeffers and learn how to combine acrylic paint, natural materials and collage papers to create a unique, layered work of art. We will start with a small wooden panel, embellishing it with painted areas and then collage papers, adding a final layer of pressed botanicals. Open to ages 11-13, the workshop will take place at the Eco Hub on Saturday, November 18, 2017 from 10:00 am-1:00 pm.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Marnie remembers her first work of art. It was a “fairy playground” of tar and sticks, created at the age of three. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Visual Art from Auburn University, with minors in Art and Education. Primarily a painter, Marnie still glues things together for collage and assemblage, and makes hand-built ceramic pieces. She is happiest when painting outdoors and her work focuses on sharing her delight in the natural world.
