Join Cindy Farrow, Advanced Laura Heine Collage Instructor, for a 2.5 day collage class making this stunning collaged flag!  In this vibrant and engaging class, Cindy guides you through the creation of the flag using Laura Heine's innovative collage method. This class is perfect for anyone looking to add a personal touch to their celebrations, especially as we approach the Fourth of July and the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to blend various materials into a beautiful flag representation, incorporating the rich hues of red, white, and blue. Cindy will introduce you to the unique techniques of using Inktense pencils, allowing you to create striking details and textures that truly make your flag stand out.

Whether you're an experienced "collager" or a beginner, this class promises to inspire creativity and a sense of patriotism. Bring your enthusiasm and let’s celebrate our nation's spirit together through art!
