Collage-Lab was founded in 2020 as a place to learn, share, experiment, and grow. I offer a variety of online classes, creative challenges, opportunities, free gatherings, and resources for the new or established Collage Maker. Take a look around!

DOORS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR NEW MEMBERSHIPS!
Three and a half years ago, I created my first online class. I hosted a Scrap Exchange, and launched the Collage Alphabet. After many years of thinking about teaching online, I jumped in. The people in the online course creation field told me that if I made something once, I could sell it over and over again, making money while I slept. So I tried it. And while I’m still so very proud of the concept and training in Collage Alphabet, I have to tell you that my initial goal in April 2020 was to get 30 students in that class. (It was the beginning of lockdowns and the world was in such a state of flux, that I thought 30 was a very realistic goal.) Guess what? It took almost one year to get to that 30th student. Yikes.
In the meantime, I started adding more trainings and more opportunities. I created Collage-Lab 101 as a series of Facebook Lives, and was excited to actually get your comments in real time. Then I started doing free Play Dates on Zoom, where we could talk and I could see your faces! And that was a game-changer. I started creating more interactive classes on Zoom. And the first Treasure Trovember was born. And I realized that I did not just create an online course platform, but something much more important – I’ve created a community!
This is the next step in that journey. You, my community, are at the forefront. I want to show up and serve you with classes, challenges, information, conversation, and to keep building that community.
The new Collage-Lab Membership Program may not be for everyone. That’s okay. I may not be for everyone – I get it. But for a number of you, I want to offer you a ticket to an amazing ride.
Memberships start at just $19.97/month and include over $1,000 worth of training and opportunities each year.
I’d love to have you join us!

PAY IT FORWARD OPTION
I know that not everyone has the ability to take online classes in the current economy. Most of my course offerings are already priced low, but I really want to make collage more accessible to everyone. I’ve given over $6,500 in scholarships so far!
If you are able, please consider a gift to the Collage Lab Scholarship Fund. Contribute any amount and I will personally match your gift in awarding scholarships, so a $50 contribution will mean $100 in scholarship funds! Click HERE.
Payment plans are available for classes $100 and up! Email Kelly for details.
PREVIOUS WORLD COLLAGE DAY BOOKS!
NEW SHIRT DESIGNS!
I’m so excited to announce the publication of two new collage collections, created by Collage-Lab students. Just in time for holiday gifting, these fairy tales are sure to be a hit!
Collage Artists Reimagine Fairy Tales
Members of the Collage Chronicle cohort in 2022 and 2023 each created collage art to feature in these new books. The idea was simple – take a classic fairy tale that we all know, but illustrate it with collage art by different artists – each highlighting their own personal style. The result is two fun books, featuring a range of styles and a great introduction to the various approaches we can take to collage art.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ARTISTS:
Melissa Fristrom
Lela Goldstein
Ronni Krasnow
Maureen Lardie
Karen Menehan
Leah Peterson
Mick Provencher
Carol Rogala
Abby Schott
Barbara Spafford
Susan Wakal
BOTH BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE ON AMAZON HERE.
PS – if you buy the books, please leave a review – it helps other people discover these artists!
I continue to slowly build this site, much like I build the layers of a collage. Collage-Lab wants to be your source for mixed media collage inspiration. Take a look around.
I’m also excited to continue offering a FREE online collage class! Click HERE for details.
