Tissue Paper Collage Art Lab (2-Part Series)
with mixed media collage artist Brandy Ringelmann
Step into a playful, process-driven art experience designed to loosen your practice and expand your creative toolkit. This two-part Tissue Paper Collage Art Lab takes place on Sunday, February 15 and Sunday, February 22, from 1–4 pm in the inspiring space of These 4 Walls Gallery.
Part One | Sunday, February 15
Begin by building your own inventory of handmade tissue paper collage papers (wet-grade). Through guided facilitation, you’ll experiment with a wide variety of papers, paints, stencils, mark-making tools, and mixed media techniques to create rich, expressive collage backgrounds. This session is all about exploration, curiosity, and discovering what happens when materials are layered without pressure or expectation.
Part Two | Sunday, February 22
Using the collage paper inventory you created, you’ll move into building finished collage works on canvas board (you’re welcome to bring your own base as well). This session focuses on working loosely and intuitively, embracing layers, texture, and mark making. Many artists struggle with letting go of control—this process is intentionally forgiving and low-pressure, offering a safe space to practice working freely without commitment or perfectionism.
Your completed pieces can be framed, gifted, or photographed and turned into custom greeting cards for friends and loved ones. You’ll also take home your remaining collage paper inventory to use in future art projects.
About Art Labs
Art Labs are designed to introduce new techniques through facilitation while leaving ample room for self-discovery and self-directed learning. They are ideal for artists of all levels who want to experiment, refresh their practice, and reconnect with creative play.
For an even more immersive experience, charcuterie boards are available for pre-order. The gallery’s kitchen (limited menu) and bar will also be open during the sessions.
Come ready to explore, layer, and create—no pressure, just process.
