Collage Transfer Tales is an online workshop via Zoom by Kellette Elliot divided into two engaging classes, perfect for both beginners and experienced artists looking to explore and refine their transfer and layering techniques in collage.
Class 1: Exploring Transfer Techniques
In this session, Kellette will introduce you to three essential transfer methods: tape transfer, gel medium skin, and direct transfer. You’ll learn strategies for achieving clean, crisp transfers and will practice each technique in a hands-on activity. The session will also cover tips for choosing images and substrates to optimize your transfers. By the end of this class, you’ll have a solid understanding of these techniques and how to apply them effectively.
Class 2: Layering and Integrating Transfers
Building on the techniques from Class 1, this session dives into advanced layering methods to incorporate your transfers into collage work. Kellette will guide you through layering strategies to create depth and visual interest, using techniques such as overlapping, transparency effects, and blending with paint, markers, and ink. The class will conclude with a hands-on activity where you’ll create a finished collage using your transfers, followed by a group reflection and feedback session.
Each session lasts 2 hours. You can pick between 2 shifts depending on your timezone.
The cost is $85 for both 2-hour online classes, with recordings access afterwards. Payable via PayPal.
