  • Experiment with collage and watercolor techniques in this fun project-centered workshop to create a botanical collage. Participants will be guided to draw inspiration from the natural world as well as international arts and crafts history to create plant inspired collages. 

    No drawing or art experience is necessary to get a great result with this technique which invites cutting and tracing. We’ll cover color mixing with watercolors, discuss how a limited color palette can achieve a unified result, best practices for clean gluing and what makes a strong design composition. All art making materials will be provided. Participants should feel confident handling an exacto blade or have the option to do the entire workshop with scissors. Any children under 14 will be required to sign a waiver to use an exacto blade.

    Suzy Kopf (she/her) is a San Francisco-based multidisciplinary artist who examines the paper ephemera of midcentury consumer culture to explore the enduring mythos of the American Dream through watercolor, collage, and mixed-media installation, maintaining a "no waste" practice built on secondhand materials and self-made botanical ink and paint. Formerly a professor at Johns Hopkins and MICA, she now works exclusively with adult learners while focusing on her own studio practice, and in 2023 returned to San Francisco after sixteen years on the East Coast, where she lives with her partner and two rescue dogs, Theodore Roosevelt and Penny Lane. She has exhibited across the U.S. and Canada, including at the Turchin Center, Delaware Contemporary, Spring/Break Art Fair, and the Austrian Embassy in Washington, D.C., holds degrees from Eugene Lang College, Parsons, and MICA, and is a 2026 Liana Paredes Fellow at the Hillwood Museum.
