A class small in size but BIG on hands-on fun for developing and creating your own innovative and personal mixed-media artwork using paper collage, "gems," fabric, ribbon, natural materials, and other items affixed to canvas. No special art skills are needed! Basic supplies are provided while encouraging the addition of your choice of found objects reflecting your life, personality, and interests. This small class encourages your attendance and active participation—and is an excellent opportunity to craft a special gift for friends or family.

Moderator: Thelma Shotten is a docent at the Contemporary Arts Center and has taught in Cincinnati Public Schools, Art Academy, and NKU. Her mixed-media, enamel, and porcelain artworks (the latter inspired by sea coral formations) have been displayed at many Cincinnati-area art galleries and exhibitions.
