What might another version of yourself look like?
Join artist María Berrío for a collage workshop inspired by portraiture and mythology. Berrío will share insights into her artistic practice, including how she builds figures through collage, layering, pattern, texture, and clothing.
Then you&#8217;ll use a variety of papers and materials to create a figure or portrait that reflects a feeling, personality, presence, or imagined version of yourself. You&#8217;ll explore mood, character, and transformation instead of focusing on realism. We&#8217;ll also consider how mythology and mythological characters might help us imagine different versions of ourselves.
Free registration opens on August 20.
