Artist Trading Card event
Discover Artist Trading Cards! This is our 4th Annual ATC event. Artists have been trading art for many years- but in 1997 a Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann began what he called “Collaborative Cultural Performance”. He created many small pieces and held trading sessions for artists to exchange cards. ATC exchanges have really evolved over the years… The previous exchanges had a great turnout from all over the world from beginner to professional artists with diverse art backgrounds. I’m so happy to be scheduling the 4th annual ATC Exchange and hope you will join us. The workshop will cover a little history of Artist Trading Cards as well as some different approaches to making them. I’ll show and demonstrate my creative process and favorite products. I demonstrate something different every year and for 2023, I’m going to show I use acrylic pastes to create 3-D shapes and textured art. I’ll also talk about some of my handmade papers and how I recycle even the tiniest scrap.

Arte Povera
This lesser known Art movement started in Italy in the 1960's. Artists were rejecting traditional painting and using common items creating assemblage, sculpture and paintings with items like dirt, rocks, paper, clothing and rope. Their mission? To reconnect Art and Life. I’m convinced this is where the recycled and repurposed art that we see so much of today began with this small group of artists. In this class you'll get a little art history and then we'll make our own Arté Povera assemblage painting piece using acrylics, twig bundles, old postage stamps and Italian papers Materials Fee $25 paid to instructor at beginning of class includes: cradled wood panel, an Arte Povera class kit with various “poverty art” assemblage supplies- kits are unique and may include any combination of flattened bottle caps, items from nature, twigs, used postage stamps, birch tree skin, fabric, shredded money, quilling paper, string, leather and metal scrap, wine cork slices, Italian book pages, beads and more. Supplies Needed to bring for Class: Soft Gel Medium and a stronger adhesive- heavy gel or tacky glue Favorite acrylics set and brushes, palette knife Your favorite collage papers and any interesting items you have been squirreling away for a special project. Water container A second substrate- canvas, wood panel, wooden box lid or anything you already have in any size is fine Feel free to email if you have questions Susan.Rossiter@yahoo.com
