Step into the world of small-scale storytelling as we transform simple tin boxes into intimate works of art. In this workshop, you’ll create an assemblage inside a small tin container, using a variety of vintage and contemporary papers, found objects, and mixed media. We’ll explore composition, layering, and the art of creating meaning within a small space. Basic materials will be included in the materials fee, but you are welcome to bring personal treasures or ephemera to make your piece even more unique and personal. No prior experience is necessary—just curiosity and a love of making
