Learn and Create Artist Trading Cards – Hands-on Workshops

I am scheduling hands-on learning workshops at my home in Bella Vista, AR. They are each three hours long. 9am-noon. I will provide all the materials. Donation of $10 each student is suggested to cover cost of supplies. Limit of 4 students for each workshop.

I have no Workshop dates set at this time.

Artist Trading Cards are small artworks created the same size as baseball trading cards. The artist uses various mediums and materials to create his/her small art pieces and then trades (and sometimes sells) these cards to other artists or collectors. You can see some that artists sell by searching eBay or Etsy. However, there are many groups worldwide who trade their created small art cards amongst themselves. Some of them are awesome little works of art that are free when traded and definitely inexpensive when purchased as a collector from your favorite artist.

In the Workshop, you will learn to create these small works of art on trading cards and trade them with other artists both in person and online. Create a collection of traded cards from artists all over the world and send your own small art to other collectors worldwide.
