What others have said about
"I've done lots of collage videos here and there but none have inspired me like yours. These lessons have lit me up and given me such joy. I've been feeling kinda stuck in my art, not sure where to go next. Now I'm so excited to explore your techniques more and cannot wait to sign up for the full workshop!"
- Dana Marie
"I truly enjoyed EVERYTHING about Collage Kickstart!!! 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
"This workshop was just what I needed. I was stuck in the same old techniques, and a little bored. And you were right, it is absolutely addicting. Now have a huge pile of papers I created alongside you. Thank you for this awesome experience".
- Peggy Freedman
"I did not think I would gain that much from this class. I had done collage years ago and did not expect to learn anything new. But I was wrong! This was a great class, with lots of new, exciting ideas and techniques to try! A lot of "free" classes have been a disappointment to me, but not this one. Thank you Catherine!"
