Memento Package with Lesley RileySaturday, October 14, 2023
10:30 am – 4:30 pm
A Memento Package is mixed media faux package of sorts, made to look like something old, worn and treasured. It is a way to preserve the memory of a person, place, event or feeling. Using a paper bag, paint, a photo, fabric, paper, mica and metal scraps, embellishments and optional text, you will learn how to evoke and enhance that memory. Hidden message can be included in the "sealed" memory. No sewing required! A selection of images will be provided for you to transfer onto fabric with TAP Transfer Artist Paper.
