Name Collage Workshop

Make a name for yourself - or someone else - with collage!

Let your right brain have the reins for awhile, to create a beautiful word (a loved one’s name, for example) with humble but interesting paper, scissors, and glue, and your unleashed imagination! Demos, examples, and suggestions will be offered.

Suggested Materials:

Construction paper (many colors), origami paper (colors, patterns), handmade paper; and recycled wrapping paper, old cards/photos, magazines, newspapers(?), packaging, etc. Also, Deb will bring assorted papers.

Glue stick and/or liquid glue.

Scissors; and, if you’d like, for adults only, Exacto-style knife, along with cutting surface.

All supplies are available for purchase at Plaza Art!

About the Artist:

Deb Brod enjoys teaching art and sharing her love of art-making and its countless therapeutic effects with people of all ages. She has taught and led community-based art projects through the Ohio Arts Council, community arts centers, schools, art museums, and many other organizations. She has created artwork for commissions (including for the Taft Museum of Art and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital), and exhibited her artwork made with many media and approaches including, painting, textiles, and installation, in the midwest (including at Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center), and occasionally other parts of the country and the world. In college, she studied French, art history, and fine art, culminating in a masters degree in fine art in painting. Although her work often appears abstract, or non-representational, the sources of her inspiration draw on both her inner life and the outer world, and range from nature to human nature.
