About the event

Paper Slashing: A Renaissance-Inspired Collage Workshop with Lori Oxendine
Saturday, September 27/ 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Travel back to the late 15th century when practical mending technique used by Swiss soldiers started a fashion trend so unusual and bold that it swept through Europe’s aristocracy like wildfire.

In this workshop, we’ll breathe new life into that centuries-old style, reimagining it through paper collage instead of fabric. You’ll layer richly colored and patterned papers, then use a technique called “slashing” to reveal bursts of hidden color, creating vibrant, one-of-a-kind pieces by taking away rather than adding. Along the way, you’ll dive into color theory, play with texture, and explore movement in three dimensions to revive this rich Renaissance decadence.

The result will be your own richly textured artwork that carries a blend of resilience, artistry and a touch of flamboyance.

Instructor Bio:

Truth be told, it’s all my parent’s fault. I’ve been drawing since the age of two. I drew in the blank pages of books, on every spare piece of paper, napkins, even on the walls. My parents allowed all of this. They even refused to paint over my “cave drawings” so when I announced that I was trading in my meticulously planned career in biology for a life in art, they didn’t bat an eyelash. Go figure.

In 1981, I was fortunate enough to be accepted into the Corcoran College of Art and Design to study under incredible mentors, including Tim Gunn (yes, that Tim Gunn), Alonzo Davis, Gene Davis, and William Newman to name-drop a few.

Over the years I’ve fallen in love with color, contrast, typography, texture, paper, light, gauche and the magic that happens when you bring them together. With a BFA in graphic design and more than 40 years of experience and two businesses in producing fine art and design, I still wake up excited to create.
