Introduction to Chine Collé Collage
with Ouida Touchon

Join regional artist Ouida Touchon for a single-day entry-level class exploring the printmaking process of chine collé. Chine collé is a unique printmaking technique in which paper, often in pre-cut shapes and of a different color or texture, is adhered to the overall piece.

Working by hand, or with a printing press, paste, scissors, and scraps of beautiful paper, you will learn to create beautiful compositions in this class using basic principles of composition. Each participant can make up to 6 one-of-a-kind prints with a paper size of approximately 11×14 inches.
