Special Event Workshops

Want to plan an art party for a special occasion? A collage party is a fun and unusual event for groups of up to 10. No art skills are required. Parties may be themed, and will provide everyone with a great piece of original art to take home. Party in my studio or at your place. Also, plan a workshop for your favorite organization. One or two-day workshops can be planned for clubs, social groups, associations, etc., as a recreational activity.
