All Mixed Up

You’ve never been great at making sense of mixed signals.

Waiting three days to call: appropriate or ridiculous? Blinking yellow lights: stop or go? Asymmetrical haircuts: genius or heinous?

Embrace the uncertainty at a Collage Barrage class with Aimee Empey. The Boston-based artist makes totally rad, really bright mixed-media collages from materials like handmade paper, resin, wood, glitter, beads, glass, fabric — and even a little toy or two.

She’ll teach you her techniques during a three-hour class. All you have to do is free your mind as you craft your own eight-by-twelve collage (which you get to take home and show off). Everything is provided — from smocks and materials to wine and cheese. Just bring your creative spirit.

And don’t think twice.
