Painting With Paper: Collage Workshop with John Williams

Join local artist John Williams for an inspiring, hands-on collage workshop exploring his unique technique of painting with paper. Using small pieces of magazine paper, John creates richly layered portraits, landscapes, and seascapes that capture remarkable light, texture, and depth.

In this workshop, John will share his self-taught process and the creative ideas behind his work. You'll learn how he carefully selects and arranges paper to build luminous lighting effects--especially in his seascapes--and how his background in sculpture influences the sense of form and perspective in his collages. John will also discuss how his artistic perspective is shaped by his experience with autism, offering insight into the stories and details that bring his subjects to life.

Artists of all experience levels are welcome! During the session, you'll create your own small collage while John provides guidance, feedback, and encouragement along the way.
