Demo by Laura Lein-Svencner "The Fine Art of Collage"
National Award Winner and National Collage Society Signature member, co-founder of the Midwest Collage Society, Laura Lein-Svencner will share the process of creating your own collage papers; assembling a collage with a tack iron and the application of an image transfer. As a self-taught artist, Laura has been working in the medium of hand papermaking and collage for 21 years, learning and exploring all the ins and outs of paper itself. She primarily focuses on composition, layering, color and ability to create depth in her collage artwork. Her works have been published in many books by North Light Publishing, The Artist Magazine and The Professional Artist. This demonstration is a must see if you are interested in beginning, or have had some experience with, collage.
We also have our monthly members "One Night Show!". This show will be a judged/ribboned show and will be judged by a fellow PAL member that will be chosen randomly that evening. Each member should bring in one piece of artwork for that night's show and a "Best of Show" ribbon will be given out at the end of the night.
