Of all the art practices, collage is perhaps the most democratic: there is no institution famous for its instruction; there are no ordained rules from an art elite. Its just rip **** up, glue **** down, seek beauty. But even with its lack of formality rule, there are craft considerations that can transform the experience. Most notably, paper collage (papier collé if you want to be fancy) tends to wrinkle and air bubble when glue meets paper.

In this workshop, Premo shares some basic techniques on how to get a collage to adhere clean and flat. Real handsome like. But here’s the catch: then you have to give your art away. We can call it a simple act of sharing, or intentional defiance of art-market driven commodification. But in plain terms, it means that you’ll be making collage postcards.

Here’s how the workshop works: You bring paper collage material that you’d like to collage with. Premo will augment our collage material with portions of his extensive catalogue of **** (1960’s magazines, old baseball cards, origami paper, discarded packaging, etc). Using brayers and clamping, together you will create finished collages that have a sturdy, flat, and wrinkle free finish. Each collage will be created on a stamped 4” x 6” postcard that you’ll address and once the collage is dry, Premo will mail. Postage included. Boom.

Make art, give art.
