Description

Most everyone has loved puzzles as a child, maybe as an adult too. Now we can use this concept in designing letters & marks as puzzles, then giving the viewer a legible solution. In this workshop we will be abstracting, collaging, painting and more to help each student create a personal collection of samples of textures and words with a variety of media such as pastels, watercolors, pencils, brushes and pens.
