Making art for realz
You know that moment when you realize… you’ve been making a lot of art — but not necessarily the kind that feels like you?
HELLO THERE! I'm KELLY
That’s where I found myself recently.
For years, I’ve been teaching, demoing, experimenting — and don’t get me wrong, I love every bit of it.
But so much of my creative energy has gone into teaching art, that I started missing the experience of making art for realz.
Art that isn’t just a sample.
Art that isn’t just a test piece or a demo reel.
Art that belongs in a frame.
About three years ago, I had this little spark of an idea for a yearlong class. Something deliciously creative and playful — a feast of experimentation, served in small, flavorful bites.
But I wasn’t ready yet.
So, I did what many of us do when inspiration hits at the wrong time: I stuck a pin in it.
And you know what happens to ideas that matter?
They don’t go away.
They wait.
They simmer.
They whisper, “Hey, remember me?”
So I finally listened.
At Collage-Lab, we believe that art should be fun, freeing, and full of happy accidents.
A delicious year-long adventure in mixed media art. One small, joyful experiment at a time.
Each week brings a new project to spark curiosity and keep your creativity flowing.
Every month, join a live Zoom session to connect, share, and be inspired in community.
You’ll explore a wide variety of materials and techniques — from textiles and texture to wax, resin, paper, and beyond — all through short, approachable lessons designed for play, not perfection.
AMUSE BOUCHE IS for you if...
- You want to make “real” art again — not just exercises or samples, but pieces you’re proud to frame, sell, or show.

Can you relate?
Collage-Lab has so many fun opportunities to expand my collage knowledge! I really enjoyed Treasure Trovember last year and signed up for Amuse Bouche this year with new lessons every week! Amuse Bouche has really exposed me to different techniques and tools I wasn't familiar with that I really want to try to incorporate into my work! I look forward to each Monday's lesson! So far my favorite was "Excavation " which i plan to try again soon!
I cannot believe that you have 52 different techniques to share with us. I’m very new to art and I’m having so much fun. I can’t wait to get up in the morning to try something new. I haven’t had the opportunity to try everything I want to try and there are some I’m not interested in but there is sooo much and so little time! Outside of Amuse Bouche, I love the monthly challenges. I haven’t had the courage to attend the meet ups and my excuse is that I’m not available but I watch everything afterwards. Kelly, you’re funny, happy and so very inspiring. I’m so glad I found you.
Amuse Bouche includes:
- 52 weekly projects with videos + downloadable workbooks
- Live Monthly Show & Tell throughout 2026 (with replays)
- Share in our private Facebook Group
- Lifetime access to 52 project videos and workbooks
Perfect for artists, makers, and experimenters who want to stay inspired, consistent, and creatively curious all year long.
"What a fun process, with great possibilities."

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I fall behind?
You won't "fall behind" - you'll simply pick up the next bite. The video lessons and guides are yours for life.
Do I need experience?
No. All levels can thrive here - beginners and seasoned artists alike. I'll walk you through each new technique and each project has a detailed guide that you can download.
How long are the videos?
Most are 30–40 minutes. Short enough to fit your week. Deep enough to inspire real work.
Is the payment plan a subscription? Can I cancel my payment plan if I change my mind?
No—this is not a subscription. It’s simply a way to divide the full cost of the course into smaller payments. You are committing to the full investment when you enroll. Because you receive immediate access to course materials (, the payment plan cannot be canceled once you enroll. All payments must be completed.
What happens in the Monthly Live Sessions?
This is your monthly accountability, and an opportunity to share. You'll get to know each other on Zoom and in our private Facebook Group.
What supplies do I need?
I'll share a full supply list, but I believe in "use what you have" and will offer ideas to improvise or substitute. Some of the techniques will require specialty supplies (like encaustic wax and resin), but we will use those items more than once throughout the year and you can determine if you want to explore those techniques or not.
Is this a part of the Collage-Lab Membership?
No, this is a standalone experience, a one-time investment, and a work-at-your-own-pace way to explore, experiment, and create.
