Inspired by vintage letterpress tray made in the 1950's, participants will channel all their creative juices to create a wall art piece with all the best "compartments" of a letterpress tray. Using basic collage and mixed media techiques, we'll paint the tray, layer papers and adorn with found objects, hardware, buttons, trims, vintage wallpaper and more!
