Are you interested in exploring your creativity?

Do you wish to dip your toes in art?

Then you are in the right place!

I created these workshops in 2019 to share my joy of creating. They are designed for people with a wide range of artistic abilities, from the beginner to the accomplished artist. I provide a supportive atmosphere in which participants are encouraged to experiment with materials and connect with their imagination. No previous experience is required, I’m here to guide you through the process.

Corporate Team Building Workshops

Corporate workshops brings teams together to unleash their creativity. From making personal collages that help team members get to know each other, to collaborating on larger pieces that represent a team’s professional goals, corporate workshops are perfect team building activities for all industries.

Each program is customized for your group. Let’s talk about what your needs are, and how I can design the perfect workshop for you.

A few words from happy collage makers:

“Your coaching was most helpful to me. Other teachers teach about technique which is necessary, but your personal coaching and support brings out the true artist from within. You helped me “SEE”. - Brian M.

“My friend and I had a great time in your class. You have such a pleasant demeanor - lovely to have when a student might be a little unsure or nervous. We learned so much. “ - Margot

“You are a wonderful teacher, organized and knowledgeable.” - Amy M.

“The collage class with Catherine was truly a marvelous experience. She led the class with great direction on how to use the materials and connect with your inner self to just have fun, explore, and create. It also helps that she provides all the materials. I can hardly wait to take this class again.” - Patty M.

“Your skill set adds a whole new cool dimension to our programming & we are very grateful to have you on our teacher team.” - Elizabeth Feroze, Art Escape Sonoma

"Fun and inspiring! I am so glad that I attended Catherine’s abstract collage workshop at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts! All materials were supplied, which made it super easy to simply show up with an open mind and a willingness to experiment. I love this method of collaging, and have already signed up for her next workshop." - Anna F.

“I attended Catherine’s Abstract Collage and Creative Process Workshop at the Sebastopol Art Center on 11/20/22. I not only enjoyed the workshop but was very impressed with her presentation of this medium. I look forward to participating in any future classes that she offers.” - Steven W.

“Accept the colors, the textures, the overlaps and the infinite...for it will change again...” - Glenna Y.

“Thank you so much for hosting today’s mixed media workshop at SCRAP. First of all, it was a great turnout and a fun mix of folks. The cost of the workshop included all supplies and incorporated your wonderful hand-painted papers, which are awesome. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow and your positive instruction provided a nurturing, inclusive environment. The two hours flew by and we each came away with a great work of art. We would gladly come to any future workshops you present.” - Kristin T.

“It was an honor to take part in your workshop and explore this new medium for myself. This process was hard for me and you really are the best person to deliver this method. It was fun, exciting and challenging in a great way and a gentle way. Thank you for doing this!” - Cassandra N.
