About your Instructor
Hi there,
I'm Laura Lein-Svencner and I've been working in the mediums of collage for about 32 years. Long time and with that time I've explored many surfaces. The heat fusion of the collage papers has also allowed me to bring in other art materials that just lend themself nicely.
I'm also an avid Morning Pages journal writer of the Artists Way- Julia Cameron's so these journal work great for that process.
