Instructor:  Silmara Emde 

During this  two-part workshop, participants will embark on the journey of crafting a unique mixed media self-portrait. In the initial session,  have a professional portrait captured while also honing the narrative they intend to convey. In the subsequent class, armed with printed portraits, participants will unleash their creativity as they compose their mixed media masterpieces. From drawing and painting directly onto the photograph to affixing additional elements through gluing, scratching, burning, or sanding, the possibilities are endless. Each attendee will depart the workshop with a beautifully framed mixed media self-portrait, having forged a deeper connection with their inherent artistic flair.

Students may bring personal imagery, paper, and notes that they would like to incorporate into their work.  All other materials and tools are provided. No previous experience required.
