What others are saying
about COLLAGE KICKSTART
"I truly enjoyed EVERYTHING about your 5 day Collage class!!! From the instruction to the excellent filming and direction, sped up when necessary and real time when needed... you expertly captured a wonderful experience for all... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have shared and being so brave! You have inspired me that it is never too late for another beginning." Jennifer Trujillo
"I'm new to the world of art and collage, and always wondered how people on Instagram made such beautiful collages. Your explanation and range of techniques was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed all of your tips and ideas and they were really easy to follow, even for a beginner like me. I really appreciated that your lessons were brief and to the point, and you demonstrated every step, rather than just showing one technique and telling us about the variation. You were easy to listen to - very gentle and calming." Julie Petro
"I truly enjoyed your class. I wasn't expecting to learn new things and be so inspired, but I absolutely did and am! I loved the pace of the class and your teaching style. You're a great teacher. Thank you for your generosity!" Robin Bowers
"Collage Kickstart was just what I needed. I was stuck in the same old techniques, and a little bored. All of the stenciling with new products like joint compound of all things, was so much fun. And you were right Cat, it is absolutely addicting. I now have a huge pile of papers I created alongside you that I can use for my own collaging. Your teaching style is simple and comfortable, no overwhelming supply lists... Thank you for this awesome experience". Peggy Freedman
I like your process of working in stages - the foundation, colors, textures and then the finishes are lined up and ready for the "job site". It feels like being the interior designed for a new neighborhood. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you and listening to your voice build in energy and enthusiasm as you create... I deeply appreciate your time and direction. I leave with head and heart filled with inspiration and a readiness to begin. LornaS
"I did not think I would gain that much from this class... I had done collage years ago and did not expect to learn anything new. But I was wrong! This was a great class, with lots of new, exciting ideas and techniques to try! A lot of "free" classes have been a disappointment to me, but not this one. Thank you Catherine!" Cheryl Archer
