The Collage Sketchbook Class
Introduction to Abstract Collage
I'm Sarah Z. Short, an abstract collage artist and printmaker based in Rhode Island.
I made this class for the people who've been saving papers and magazines for years and aren't quite sure what to do with them — because that's exactly where I started.
Five dollars, an hour of your afternoon, and no experience required.
What you'll learn
In this class, I'll show you how to work with vintage papers to create small abstract collages in a sketchbook. You'll learn:
— How to select and tear papers
— How to build a composition through layering
— How to use whitespace and balance
— How to know when a piece is finished
What's included
— 30-minute core video lesson
— 3 bonus video lessons (another 30+ minutes of instruction)
— Complete supplies guide
— Lifetime access—go at your own pace
Over an hour of instruction total.
This class is for you if:
— You love the idea of collage but don't know where to start
— You have papers and magazines you can't bring yourself to throw away
— You want a creative practice that doesn't require expensive supplies
— You need something meditative, not stressful
No experience needed. Just a sketchbook, some old papers, and an afternoon.
Note: If you’ve taken Inspired: Abstract Collage with Vintage Magazines, I’ve included this class as one of the bonuses!
“The main thing I learned is how to look at and think about the interaction of shapes and their color. Your narration and demonstrations have given food for thought about how to talk about those interactions. An invaluable lesson learned.”

“…inspiring and super helpful. I learned a lot from watching you actually create the collage, the whole process from selecting the materials to your thought process for creating the composition, and seeing the outcome.”
