Workshop Description
This is a one-day in-person Collage Workshop. Collage has its strength in design. The composing of various materials is fascinating and often a challenge, however, a very rewarding one. We will use color, placement and texture to unravel the possibilities this medium gives you.

About Susquehanna Art Workshops:
​
Susquehanna Art Workshops is the brainchild of Melissa Carroll and Marita Hines. Their goal is to bring in the best instructors, the "cream of the crop" to Marietta to teach in-person workshops. The workshops will always take place mid-August to late-September and be held at the Union Meeting House or one of the great painting sites in the river towns if the workshop is plein air. Melissa and Marita bring these special opportunities to artists in neighboring communities and to invite people from out-of-town to enjoy the richness of our farmland, river views, small-town charm, and all this area has to offer. If you have questions or suggestions, please let us know. Marita can be reached at 717-314-9551.
