Last Saturday, I taught for the first time at Art on 30th in San Diego. It was fabulous! Great classroom (it's the gallery, so we were surrounded by art all day!) I will definitely teach there again.

I taught a new class, for me, clumsily titled "Abstract Collage ~ with gelli plate prints." It's a one day workshop. In the morning, I showed lots of ways to use the gelli plate and then we created oodles of monoprints on tissue.

Then in the afternoon, I showed the students how to select from and compose two collages on 10x10 inch boards.
