"Collage Creations Collage Workshop Student Testimonial"

"Eric McRay is the collage instructor of my choice and I am returning to his class a second time. Unlike many collage artists, his pieces depict scenes. They have depth and are filled with action and feelings. He makes his students aware of color, balance, contrasts, and how the eyes travel around a piece. I plan to attend one of these July workshops. Don't miss out on the fun and on the chance to expand your art!"

- Marie
