ometimes the most stunning artwork is revealed in the smallest pieces of art – that’s the concept behind this class where you will create a mini shrine created from a metal box to hold all your treasures to create a piece that can be worn as a necklace or incorporated into another larger assemblage piece.

In this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of working with a variety of mixed media techniques including creating texture, layering, and working with many different mediums to create this miniature statement piece.
