Transmitter/Receiver Collage masterclass

We still have a few places left for the fantastic collage masterclass with artist Danica Maier. This masterclass will encourage you to make connections between the exhibiiton and your own practice and to create brand new works of collage.

Tutor Danica Maier
Originally from Philadelphia, Danica Maier currently lives and works between Nottingham and Lincolnshire. Maier has widely exhibited and curated exhibitions internationally in Chile, England, Germany, Lithuania, Pakistan, Paraguay, Scotland, and USA. She is currently working as a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University.

Course Details

Using the exhibition Transmitter Receiver: The Persistence of Collage as the starting point, participants will develop a series of collages using several techniques that will act as catalysts for working on a final artwork.  We will start off the week on smaller works using various collage techniques to enable ideas to evolve and skills to be developed, leading towards the development of your final artwork. Danica will offer ideas, suggestions, guidance and feedback; furthermore the group will discuss their individual ideas and propose suggestions for each other.  This course is tailor for you to work with your own particular interests and concerns and develop final work through the process of collage.

The following outline offers some idea of how the week breaks down. However depending on group’s interests and individual’s skills and ideas this may be somewhat adaptated. There will be lots of time for personal exploration and individuals will be given flexibility to focus on their own work whilst working in a supportive environment.

Monday:  AM: Groups welcome. Visit exhibition, discuss artist intentions and identify key techniques.
PM: Introduction to tools and techniques. Begin series of short collage works: overlap & placement.

Tuesday: AM & PM: Work on series of short collage works: window, marquetry, recreation & abstraction

Wednesday AM: Work on series of short collage works: folding & 3d work
PM: Group discussion of all work created, using it as a starting point for the development for the final artwork.
