    TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 2024

    2024 3Arts/Bodies of Work resident artist Auden Granger will demonstrate paper collage techniques and talk about the ideology that guides their work in found material collage. This workshop will focus on what it means to make art within the limitations of your body and the limitations of found materials, particularly for chronically ill and homebound people. It will also include some time to work on your own project and talk with the artist and other participants.

“Had the incredible opportunity to learn from @audengranger this afternoon! They taught us their method of mosaic collaging- it’s very detailed, and their work ends up beautifully!! It was an absolute joy to learn from [them]. They were so kind, knowledgeable, and encouraging of their students. Grateful to have had the chance to learn from them!!”

“Ill at Ease was well organized and interesting. Auden Granger is articulate and provided insight into their artistic process that intrigued me. For example, the meaning the materials hold for them. I finished a collage of my own after the workshop, and am thinking about the paper I handle routinely in new ways.”

–Ill at Ease workshop participant

“I loved this workshop! I enjoyed the way the practical hands-on information was mixed with concepts about art and disability in a broader format. The presenter was clear, inclusive and easy to follow. I would love to attend more workshops by this artist!”
