Mixed-Media Projects

Stretch your creative wings by breaking away from the restrictions of a single art medium! Our mixed-media projects provide crafters of all levels the chance to explore the elaborate and multidimensional world of combining materials — like paper, fabric, paint, free-hand drawing, collage, metal etching, image transfers, and more — in new and unlikely ways. Learn how to incorporate found objects and a unique variety of mediums in your next project, and see how they can come together to create a truly unique work of art.
