Join artist instructor Hedy Campbell for this 5-week course and explore your creative potential in engaging Mixed Media Collage, for Wild Harvest! Learn how to use foraged materials in your collage work, experiment with papers, textiles, and botanical printing. Forage for wild bits and learn about best practices when foraging. Participants in this course will complete a mixed-media abstract collage work blending natural and manufactured elements, and will leave with a deeper appreciation of the natural world.


Please Note: The County Arts Lab has moved upstairs! Classes are now taking place in unit 2E of the Picton Armoury (Main Street level). The most convenient access is through the Main Street entrance, but you can also enter through the back/Mary St. entrance and use the interior stairs to reach the main floor (please note there is no elevator in the Armoury). There is an accessible parking spot on Main Street in front of the Armoury building (Crepe Escape/south side).


Meet Hedy! "My art practice has always been a mix of painting, sketching, and collage as well as stitching (hand stitch and free-motion machine) and sometimes combination of these such as fabric collage. In mixed media I can indulge most of these interests, and love the challenges. I have a B.Ed. in Visual Arts. I have taught art at the high school level and workshops at County Arts, Baxter Arts Centre and Iris Gallery. I have exhibited at Gallery 121, Melt Gallery, Milford Coffee Gallery, and the National Trade Centre in Toronto."

Art supply fee - Please note that the cost of supplies is not included in the course fee; this amount depends on the course, and will be automatically added to your total. If this cost is prohibitive for you, please contact our Programs Manager, Stacey at [email protected] before registering to make alternative arrangements.

Offline registration - We prefer to take payment and registration through this form, but if you are not comfortable with this option and it is more than 2 weeks before the course begins, please check the "Offline" box in the Billing Information section below. We will contact you with alternative payment options. Payment must be received at least one week before the course begins.  

Processing fee - This covers transaction and ticketing fees. We've decided to use Regfox, the most affordable ticketing platform we could find, which will collectively save our participants over $1000 in processing fees per year.

Policies and Waivers - We've included these as part of the registration process (thank you for your patience!) to save some paperwork on your end and get straight to creating when we are in person!

  • We encourage those who are able to pay a little more to choose this price ($20/hr). By doing so, you are helping build a community that prioritizes access to the arts for all, and allowing us to cover more of our operating costs, which include Artist Instructor fees, rent, and more.

  • This price ($15/hr) allows us to cover most of the costs of running the course.

  • This price ($10/hr) is available to those who find the other two options too high for their household.
