Collage Club: Spring Flowers hosted by Sonora Sounds

Inspired by English artist Mary Delany created collaged flowers very realistically in the late 1700s

Participants: club-goers are encouraged to bring a printed image reference of a flower they would like to re-create with collage. This will make it easier for them to create a realistic image if desired.

Sonara Sounds is an interdisciplinary artist exploring experimental photography, abstract painting, video, sound, and performance art. The confluence of land and water, the relationships between humans and animals, connections we have with each other, movement of our bodies, colors and sounds of nature, is an endless well of inspiration for her body of work. Action, processes, repetition, and juxtaposing mediums lead viewers inward. Sonara has shown, collaborated, performed, throughout the Northwest, Southwest, and New York. Sonara has a degree in Art and Technology from the University of Oregon.

Theme of March is Scapes - land, sea, street, city, water, garden, etc.using collage papers, images, found objects, gesso and watercolor. This Collage Club will be led by artist Lorie Higgins.

Lorie is a rural sociologist and community development specialist at University of Idaho who also loves playing with paper. Multiple mixed media layers in her work typically include collage as a base layer and focal point, with acrylic, pastel, watercolor, gesso, ink and / or crayon blending the background to create perspective, mood and tantalizing texture.

Title: Color Swatches

Begin this collage session by playing with those paint store paper color swatch samples, with so many colors and so many names of colors to inspire. I see a triptych of images that morph together (vertical or horizontal), or single blocks of creation. The color is just a starter. We can add, cut, paste, hole punch, connect, collage to your heart's content. Perhaps a Matisse motif speaks to you, with organic splashes cut out and added on, or a cluster of similar, or disparate, subjects. Two hours to see where this takes you. Come out and play!

Elizabeth Sloan has arted and collaged at random times in her recent years, fitting bursts of creativity in between life and grandchildren. Her career history tracks from creating department store displays to advertising to graphic design to multi mixed-media explorations to writing, and back again. Life is a swirl. Eat chocolate.

This studio course is designed for a wide range of skill levels interested in developing their oil painting practice. Painting will be explored as a means of expressing our contemporary world via realism, metaphor and abstraction. We will examine contemporary issues in painting through an investigation of techniques of old masters, new methods and how they interact with each other. Painting offers the chance to investigate concepts through application; mark making and the surface of quality of paint with an emphasis on developing ideas and refining techniques.

This weeks theme is hosted by interdisciplinary artist Sara St. Clair.

Sara St. Clair is an interdisciplinary artist who contemplates the intersection of landscape, experience, and the body. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Sculpture and Post-Studio Practices from the University of Colorado Boulder and is currently pursuing their Master’s of Fine Arts degree at Washington State University. They are a moment between points A and B, an inside out sweater, a waiting room, a meticulous rumination, a bottomless cup of coffee.

10 AM – 3 PM

Join Marcus Jackson for an opening reception and poetry reading. Marcus Jackson is a widely published photographer and writer who holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from New York University. Marcus specializes in portraiture made on location with mostly natural or available light, and he works in both film and digital formats. His photographs portray the organic beauty and complexity of people and places. All photographs were made in Columbus, Ohio or in New York City, during the years 2020 and 2021. This collection title is inspired by Robert Hayden's indelible poem "Those Winter Sundays," whose final lines read:
         What did I know, what did I know
         of love's austere and lonely offices?

Will Fontaine’s Alternative Folk Rock sound—inspired by the likes of Josh Ritter, Incubus, RHCP, and Dave Matthews—combines danceable rhythms and addictive melodies with candid reflections on finding meaning and living with greater purpose. He currently resides in Moscow, ID with his partner and daughter.

Students will get to use traditional Sunagozutu gilding tools to adhere different sizes of precious 24k gold and other metal flakes. We will work on three types of papers so that each student has a variety to take home. These shimmering papers can then be used in many ways such as backgrounds for paintings and other paper based arts.
