Overcoming self-doubt
It's hard in the beginning when you are assailed with worries. Doubt can stop you from creating, even before you've started. Through guided lessons and hands-on practice, you'll get past all of these roadblocks.
When I started out, I was in the same place.
The concept of collage seems easy: Choose papers, cut them down to size, and then glue them on a page, right? So then why didn't it look right when I did that? Why do some combinations work and others don't? How do you get it to look balanced? Can I combine different kinds of papers?
You can get past those fears that hold you back!
Following the lessons and creating your own gluebook will boost your confidence in your own collage projects. Here are some of the things you'll learn:
The materials are there to support your success
It's like collaging with training wheels!
Deciding where to create your collection of collages can be challenging. In this course, the guess work of choosing a gluebook is taken away by providing you with an easy-to-use template that you will print and cut out. The video instructions will help you assemble it, and then you're ready to begin filling it with collages you create in the following lessons!
Included is a library of vintage images
To use while following along
You get access to more than 10 pages of printables to cut or tear out and use in your collage work. You can use the pieces exactly as they are placed in the lessons, or you can switch them up, or use your own.

What a fun class! I enjoyed it all, and enjoyed everyone else's collages, too! Now when I look back over some of my very early attempts at collage, I see where things can be improved. Thanks so much for all the great lessons, advice, and tips.
