Collage Workshop with Julia Forrest

Taught by photographer and PBF resident Julia Forrest, workshop attendees will create their own imaginative portrait that combines photography with collage and paint! Please bring a photograph of yourself printed in color on 8.5" x 11" paper to the workshop and learn how to add additional detail through layers of collage and paint markers. This event has been graciously sponsored in part by the Marion Park Lewis Foundation for the Arts. 

While this workshop might most appeal to kids ages 6 and up, all are welcome to attend!

To sign up, please register for a ticket online by Friday, September 9 or by calling 540-665-5162; the class is limited to 12 participants; those accompanying children are welcome to attend and do not need a ticket. Access to the class is via the garden in between 120 and 122 W Cork Street. 

About Julia Forrest

Julia Forrest is a Brooklyn based artist. She works strictly in film and prints in a darkroom she built within her apartment. Her own art has always been her top priority in life and in this digital world, she will continue to work with old processing. Anything can simply be done in photoshop, she prefers to take the camera, a tool of showing reality, and experiment with what she can do in front of the lens. Julia is currently working as a teaching artist at the Brooklyn Museum, Abrons Art Center, and USDAN Center. As an instructor, she thinks it is important to understand that a person can constantly stretch and push the boundaries of their ideas with whatever medium of art s/he chooses. Her goal is for her audience to not only enjoy learning about photography, but to see the world in an entirely new way and continue to develop a future interest in the arts.
