In this creative, process-centered series, you’ll create two original 10x10 artworks on cradled wood panels using gelli printing, mark-making, stenciling, and layering with painted and found paper elements to build rich, textural compositions. Each week introduces a new mixed media technique—focusing on color, contrast, visual composition, and creative rhythm—to help you build expressive, cohesive works of art.

Throughout the course, you’ll develop your own “collage fodder” using layered textures and hand-painted elements. The final artwork will feature vertical strip-style compositions using the papers you’ve created and collected. This class is joyful, hands-on, and intentionally imperfect—offering structure, support, and lots of room for intuitive play.

Patricia McDonald is a mixed media paper artist, writer, and creative guide known for blending sacred expression with playful exploration. As the founder of SakredJoi Art, she creates handmade + digital paper goods, teaches collage and mixed media art workshops, and leads transformative creative experiences that center joy, resilience, and meaning. Her artistic practice is rooted in color, texture, and storytelling, and she delights in helping others rediscover their creative magic—especially those who think they’re “not creative.”
