Collage-Lab was founded in 2020 as a place to learn, share, experiment, and grow. I offer a variety of online classes, creative challenges, opportunities, free gatherings, and resources for the new or established Collage Maker. Take a look around!

DOORS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR NEW MEMBERSHIPS!

Three and a half years ago, I created my first online class. I hosted a Scrap Exchange, and launched the Collage Alphabet. After many years of thinking about teaching online, I jumped in. The people in the online course creation field told me that if I made something once, I could sell it over and over again, making money while I slept. So I tried it. And while I’m still so very proud of the concept and training in Collage Alphabet, I have to tell you that my initial goal in April 2020 was to get 30 students in that class. (It was the beginning of lockdowns and the world was in such a state of flux, that I thought 30 was a very realistic goal.) Guess what? It took almost one year to get to that 30th student. Yikes. 

In the meantime, I started adding more trainings and more opportunities. I created Collage-Lab 101 as a series of Facebook Lives, and was excited to actually get your comments in real time. Then I started doing free Play Dates on Zoom, where we could talk and I could see your faces! And that was a game-changer. I started creating more interactive classes on Zoom. And the first Treasure Trovember was born. And I realized that I did not just create an online course platform, but something much more important – I’ve created a community! 

This is the next step in that journey. You, my community, are at the forefront. I want to show up and serve you with classes, challenges, information, conversation, and to keep building that community.

The new Collage-Lab Membership Program may not be for everyone. That’s okay. I may not be for everyone – I get it. But for a number of you, I want to offer you a ticket to an amazing ride. 

Memberships start at just $19.97/month and include over $1,000 worth of training and opportunities each year. 

I’d love to have you join us!

I’m so excited to announce the publication of two new collage collections, created by Collage-Lab students. Just in time for holiday gifting, these fairy tales are sure to be a hit!

Collage Artists Reimagine Fairy Tales
Members of the Collage Chronicle cohort in 2022 and 2023 each created collage art to feature in these new books. The idea was simple – take a classic fairy tale that we all know, but illustrate it with collage art by different artists – each highlighting their own personal style. The result is two fun books, featuring a range of styles and a great introduction to the various approaches we can take to collage art.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ARTISTS:

Melissa Fristrom

Lela Goldstein

Ronni Krasnow

Maureen Lardie

Karen Menehan

Leah Peterson

Mick Provencher

Carol Rogala

Abby Schott

Barbara Spafford

Susan Wakal

BOTH BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE ON AMAZON HERE.


PS – if you buy the books, please leave a review – it helps other people discover these artists!

NO MORE SALES!

What the heck does that even mean? Let me explain. I hate running sales. I hate being “sales-y”. And I really want the classes, events, challenges, and experiences within Collage-Lab to be accessible to all.
To that end, starting July 1st, I began rolling out a new pricing model and eliminating most sales.
 
I’m deep into planning for 2024 and the model is changing. I need Collage-Lab to be a sustainable business, so that I can continue to serve you, and teach you, and hang out with you. And I am very excited about what the future can look like for all of us in the Collage-Lab Community.
CHECK OUT THE OFFERINGS HERE – with new Accessibility Pricing!
 
CHECK OUT OUR NEW MEMBERSHIP HERE.

CLASSROOM OPEN – Join me inside the Collage-Lab Classroom Group for Facebook Live Q&A sessions and more!

The Classroom Group is open to students of ANY paid class – join us and share what you are working on, ask questions, ask for feedback. It’s a great place to meet your fellow students and chat about collage!
