I've always been interested in creating collages, but you made the process so much easier to understand.  I really like the "warm up" exercises to build confidence before I tackle the larger sizes.  I also liked how you started us small and we built from there.  Your instructional videos are so detailed, I never felt lost.  - Sharon Maginn

"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."   - Cheryl Archer

Hi, I'm Cat,

and I want to share a truth that changed my life: collage is so much more than just painting, cutting and gluing paper. It is also a transformative path for discovering what truly lights you up and stepping into the artist you were always meant to be.

How do I know? Because this is my story. Learning to collage set my life on a course I could never have imagined, transforming it for the better in more ways than I can count.

But it wasn’t always this way… 

For the first 33 years of my life, I was convinced I didn’t have an artistic bone in my body. I didn’t know how to paint or draw, which I thought were the minimum “requirements” to be an artist. So I avoided art making altogether.

All of that changed when I created my first collage to relieve stress from an overwhelming career.

What began as a simple, restorative hobby soon became a guiding light, teaching me to follow my inner compass through life's ups and downs.

This 10-day workshop is designed to both teach you how to create collages you LOVE, and claim (or reclaim) your birthright as an artist, discovering more about yourself along the way.

I would be deeply honored to guide you on this heart-opening journey and can’t wait to see how you, and your art, transform along the way.

YES!  You will LOVE every minute of Collage Joy Taster, and no doubt you will surprise yourself with what you create!  I believe that everyone is an artist . . . sometimes we just need a little guidance to tap into our creative potential. My job is to take you by the hand and guide you step-by-step through these 10 days of joyful collage making.

Definitely!  The beauty of this workshop is that you can customize the lessons to fit your skill level and creative goals.  Collage Joy Taster is a great place to find inspiration, embrace creative play and have fun (re)discovering yourself and expanding your mixed media tool box.

You can view the video replays for each of the 15 lessons through January 14, 2024.  After that time, those who sign up for Collage Joy will have lifetime access to all the content.

You probably already have what you need to take Collage Joy Taster.  An optional supplies list will be emailed to you when you sign up so you can hunt through what you already own, and purchase a few supplies if desired.

Absolutely! You can still be part of the Collage Joy Taster community by attending the LIVE Q&A sessions through Zoom, and by leaving comments/questions in our online learning classroom.

You can access the LIVE lessons both within our private Facebook group and through a Zoom link every day at 1pm est.  If you aren't able to join us live, there will be a recording available both in the Facebook group and on the Simplero workshop platform.  

Our 10-day live art adventure begins January 1, 2025. You will be sent an email everyday starting January 1st with either a link to join that day's lesson live and/or to watch the recorded lessons.

You will receive a confirmation welcome email as soon as you sign up. This will include a link to your first lesson, a supplies video walk-through and suggested supplies list.  You also be invited to join our optional private Facebook group which will officially open on December 27.

Absolutely! Everything is better with friends.  Please feel free to share this class with anyone you think would enjoy it!
