Overview:
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are miniature works of art, typically 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size, that artists create and trade with each other. They are not for sale, but rather a form of collaboration and exchange, often involving similar sizes to sports trading cards. ATCs can be created using various mediums like drawing, painting, collage, or mixed media. This hands-on workshop will guide you through the process of creating, decorating, and swapping your very own Artist Trading Cards. Artist Trading Cards are a great way to express your creativity, explore different media and themes, and have a lot of fun making and trading with fellow artists.
