Learn a totally new way to collage

& how share what you create

"I truly enjoyed EVERYTHING about your 5 day Collage class!!! From the instruction to the excellent filming and direction, sped up when necessary and real time when needed... you expertly captured a wonderful experience for all... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have shared and being so brave!  You have inspired me that it is never too late for another beginning."    Jennifer Trujillo

"Your explanation and range of techniques was fantastic.  I thoroughly enjoyed all of your tips and ideas and they were really easy to follow, even for a beginner like me. I really appreciated that your lessons were brief and to the point, and you demonstrated every step.  You were easy to listen to - very gentle and calming."   Julie Petro

"I truly enjoyed your class. I wasn't expecting to learn new things and be so inspired, but I absolutely did and am!  I loved the pace of the class and your teaching style.  You're a great teacher. Thank you for your generosity!"   Robin Bowers

Collage Joy has been the best class I have taken over the internet. As a retired teacher I appreciate a course that is well planned out. Catherine has done an amazing job organizing the class into incremental steps. 

Catherine's calm, personable manner makes the class what it is. I have greatly improved my art skills because of what I have learned in this class.  Denise Szafran

Collage Joy is amazing to me in every way. So well organized, every detail is thought of and explained. You demonstrate so many ways to create collage papers that I was just overwhelmed in a wonderful way. Your explanations are clear, your ideas are simple and yet ingenious. Collage Joy is one of the best online art experiences I have ever had. It truly is a joy to watch, to learn and to work on my own projects with you and your lessons in mind.  Rita D

I truly enjoyed every minute, from Collage Kickstart all the way through the Collage Joy master class. Catherine is a generous and knowledgeable teacher who shares skills and techniques and is always kind and approachable. From creating your own papers to adding final touches, while always encouraging each student to be true to their own art, she guides you through each lesson.  Deborah Palmer

What I loved about Collage Joy was that we weren't just copying the instructor's work. Cat gave us guidelines, and we created our own unique pieces. It was fun to see everyone's work...similar in color but so different in style. Now, I can use Cat's guidelines to create any type of collage I want. The sky's the limit!!  Alice Clayton

This class is intended for all levels of artists, from those just beginning to explore mixed media to those who already exhibit their art. I will be sharing my personal step-by-step process for creating Harvest™collages, and how to transform them into beautiful one-of-a-kind gifts. As with any workshop you take, you will naturally integrate the parts that resonate  no matter your artistic level.  

You will be invited to join a private FaceBook group where you can share what you are creating, cheer each other on, and ask me questions. 

You are not required to join this group, and can still connect to the community through the comment section of each lesson. 

As this is a self-paced workshop, you decide the timing of how to move through the lessons.  You can start with Project ONE and move sequentially through the three projects, or jump around depending on what projects interest you.  This is totally up to you. With lifetime access to the lessons, you cannot get behind.  I encourage you follow your own inner rhythm as you decide which projects to complete and when.
