Explore the different facets of composing and creating unique works of art using the medium of collage. Join us for a special workshop created for AF members. We will be using famous works of French 19th and 20th Century art as a starting point, leading us to create our own unique work of collage. Gerald Huth will be sharing his vast collection of art papers acquired throughout many years of extensive world travel.

The class will be offered in English and French, class size limited to six students to ensure individual attention. Gerald Huth has been a professional artist for more than 30 years, specializing in collage and mixed media works. His art has been exhibited throughout Europe and the US and is in many private collections both here  and abroad. His work can be seen at www.geraldhuthart.com
