reviews
"The 4-week online course in Collage Fundamentals was fantastic. I didn't want the class to end. Laura is a gifted artist and teacher. She gives 100% of herself. She provides a well rounded approach to supplies, techniques and creative inspiration. The information is presented beautifully. She creates a kind and encouraging environment. Anyone wanting to have a daily creative should take a class with Laura."
-Michelle G. from Collage Fundamentals for Daily Art Practice
"Laura is a fountain of information and resources about collage, a true and knowledgeable expert in various modes of working. I enjoyed a three-hour session with her, it passed all too quickly."
-George S. from Collage 101
“This class was such a good value. In addition to coming away knowing everything I need to get started and to have an attitude of experimentation, I also felt like it helped me know what I don't know and what I'd like to learn next! I really appreciated that the cost included getting the key content and class recording afterwards.”
-Sara Z from Collage 101
"Laura was very informative and patient in the 101 class and answered all of our questions. She shared everything from types of cutting tools and adhesives to daily practice and community resources. Laura is a wealth of knowledge and I am looking forward to taking her future classes."

"Laura is a lovely artist and teacher whose passion for creating comes through in her work. I'm so glad i took her collage 101 workshop, it inspired me to start collaging again and i'm having lots of fun with it."
-Kendall R. from Collage 101
"I really enjoyed all of it! Laura's preparation and expertise were appreciated and apparent. I was a bit blown away by the collage materials available for us to use - those were some gorgeous and fun papers. Laura went above and beyond with the generous take-home collage bundles which I have been putting to use thanks to her strong encouragement, what you said stuck with 'Now you have no excuses not to do this at home.'"
-Mel L.
"Laura is my go-to when it comes to questions about ambitious art processes. The commitment I've seen from Laura to push herself in learning how to work with new mediums has inspired me to take more chances myself."
-Jordan C.
"This college workshop was like no other collage experience that I have had. Laura's own amazing work opened doors of creativity for me. I so appreciated her generosity with materials. These old magazines were such treasures, and have primed the possibilities for further play. I ran home and began organizing my fat folder of "loved images" into categories. I'm ready to begin my next project. Such a fun, meditative, and creative day.

“Laura was a fantastic instructor and she thought of every detail. From the warm-up exercises to the final product—she guided us on a journey of creative exploration and play that was fun and nourishing for the creative spirit. Whether you are a creative novice or an artistic genius—something about tearing paper and Laura’s gentle guidance will speak to you."

'...Laura's collage workshop was one of the most beneficial activities I've done in the past few years. Who knew that sitting around cutting things up and pasting them to a sheet of paper could be so enlightening?... The reminder to embrace our creative being and to recognize its value and centrality in our human existence was so perfect for this particular moment in history, and of course is always relevant.'
-Liz S.
"Taking Laura’s collage workshop was a wonderful experience. I worried a little that I might be the only novice there but was quickly put at ease. Laura created a really warm, lovely, inviting atmosphere while also packing in a lot of info and techniques. I left feeling inspired and looking forward to experimenting with collage. "
-Brooke K.
"Laura's Introduction to Analog Collage and Creative Process was fun, accessible, and inspiring. As a busy mom and a part-time higher ed administrator, I often ignore my creative side. Laura showed us through the simple act of cutting and pasting paper the joys of collaging, all while coaching us to claim our creativity. Her workshop left me assured that my excuses of no time, space, or money to be creative were simply that- excuses! I learned about collage vocabulary, differences in vintage paper, techniques in tearing and cutting, finding source material, editing and placement, hazards in gluing, and more in this introductory workshop. The process was deeply satisfying and I walked away with renewed hope in an accessible art form and my ability to be creative."
