Mixed Media Assemblage: Lost Lumber

In this class you’ll create a wooden wall hanging made from bits and pieces of lumber. You’ll learn to how to hand pick wooden shapes for their artistic value, attach them to a substrate, and use stain or paint to create an original assemblage. Melissa will talk about the history of assemblage, the principles of visual art, and her personal artistic process. All materials will be provided, including wooden canvases in a variety of sizes, a woodshop waste collection of cutoff gems, hanging hardware, and over 100 paint and stain colors. Canvas size choices are 16" x 20", 10" x 20, and 16" x 16".
