Artist Trading Cards are one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork, the size of baseball cards, that get made and then traded with other artists. Trading cards are never sold. This workshop will be a fun introduction to working with mixed media and various ways to design and embellish your cards. The only official rules for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x3.5" and that the cards are traded and never sold. At the end of the workshop, you will have the opportunity to trade any or all the cards you made.
How it all began....
In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world. There are also many online swaps.
No art experience necessary. Project details will be emailed upon registration. This workshop has limited enrollment so early enrollment is recommended.
