COLLAGE WORKSHOP FOR ATCS (AND SCRAPBOOKERS, TOO!)

September 26, 2009

(please enter through Health Department entrance on 5650 Parking Street)
WHAT IS AN ARTIST TRADING CARDS OR ATC?
Artist Trading Cards or ATCs are small works of art measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches that are made to be traded between artists. ATCs are also the same size as poker playing cards, which make a good base for collages. They can be made in any media on any subject. Why make and trade ATCs? The small size of the card allows you to experiment with new media and techniques without spending a lot of money on supplies. For many participants, the interaction with other artists and the opportunity to learn new things is more important than the trading of the art itself. Trading on-line has become very popular, especially for artists who cannot attend live trades locally. You can store your ATCs in clear plastic sleeves designed for baseball and other trading cards, which are the same size. These can be found in Greenfield News and Hobby as well as at stores specializing in sports trading cards.

COLLAGE WORKSHOP WITH MEL KOLSTER

9:00 a.m. -- Noon (Registration and fee required).

COLLAGE WORKSHOP FOR ATCS (AND SCRAPBOOKERS, TOO!): an introduction to making a 2½ x 3½-inch art card made to be traded with other artists using collage techniqes. Learn simple methods to create your own original small works of art or to apply this technique to scrapbooking and greeting card making. Even if you don't consider yourself an artist, you can use collage techniques to make ATCs for display, gifts or trading. Supplies will be provided.

The registration fee is $25.
