Introduction to Collage
February 28 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Many art historians cite modern collage beginning in the early 1900s with painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, but collage as a medium has existed across cultures for hundreds of years and has often gone overlooked. In this workshop, participants will learn about the secret history of this highly versatile and approachable medium, as well as create their own personal collage from a wide variety of sources.

WorkshopAbout the Instructor
John Lumpkin is a collage-artist and theatre-maker based in Olney, Maryland. After earning a degree and falling in love at Baylor University’s theatre program, he and his fiance moved to Maryland to pursue a career in creating and celebrating local art of all mediums. John is dedicated to rediscovering forgotten and overlooked paper materials and rehoming them in unique collage art. He rarely begins an art project knowing the outcome, and he allows creative intuition and joy to guide the artistic process. John’s collages range in themes, but often explore gender, history, and color.
