November 14 Collage Afternoon with Deborah Keenan

Where: GLS House (1500 Englewood Ave.)

When: 12:30 PM - 4:00 PM

A West Egg crafting tradition. DK's note about the event:

Please bring the scissors you most love, that let you be the most accurate with your cutting, a glue stick, any preferred backings to anchor your images, and please start collecting now for at least a couple of visions for the afternoon. I'd like you to find images that are small enough that they feel private to you--I want all of us to work on collages that are personal, almost enclosed in our own reveries about our own imagined and real life and spirit. Then I'd like you to also gather images that feel bold, generic, large (in some way, size or meaning)so that you can, the same afternoon, be working toward a collage that could become a public work of art by 4 p.m. that day. I'd also like you to do some thinking and writing about color. Please bring in three written portraits of three different colors that you are willing to share with our group. If you would like to bring something calm and non-messy to eat and drink and to share, that would be great. We will have a table set up for food and drinks to keep us going through the afternoon.
