Talented artist and business owner Candace Liccione offers a one-day class through the Queen Anne’s County Arts Council on collage and mixed media. Students are encouraged to imagine, explore and create a collage using a variety of objects. Collage incorporates various materials including hand painted tissue paper, handmade paper, ribbons, trims, textures and embellishments. The result is a unique art project that is suitable for all ages.

The class will be held on Thursday, September 27 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm and will be held off-site at Wye River Designs, 4300 Main Street in Grasonville. Registration deadline is September 20 and cost is $45 for members of the Arts Council and $55 for non-members.

Liccione grew up in the craft industry with her family’s business Aleene’s Tacky Glue. She has been teaching crafts for many years as the owner of a gift shop in Philadelphia and a farm in Pennsylvania. She owns Wye River Designs where she teaches mosaics, jewelry making, collage, rubberstamping, and mixed media arts and crafts. Visit the website at www. wyeriverdesigns.com.
