Workshop on collage at Holly Dean's

Saturday I went to a workshop on collage at Holly Dean's studio.
We learned techniques on how to glue and which glue to use for a variety of  papers, how to "push back" a photograph in a collage (making the edge of the photograph less visible), where to find copyright-free images online, how to make your own imagery. We also learn about composition.
In the afternoon, we worked on a collage using our own imagery or the one provided by Holly. We received as well in our package beautiful textured papers to use in our collage.
A whole day creating and learning!
