Craft Lake City Workshop: Collage Self-Portrait

Learn to showcase your creativity through collage by selecting dynamic textures and images from vintage magazines or books to create a surreal, psychedelic self-portrait with local artist Alyss Smith! Starting by finding a subject or “main character,” Alyss will walk attendees through using elements of interest to build out their creative vision, then how to embellish the piece with paint markers! By the end, you’ll have a self-portrait like no other made with enthralling components on a colorful background of your choosing. Through this fun and simplified process, it’s easy for anyone to create something they’re proud of! All supplies are provided, no prior experience needed.
