Next Meeting
Friday, October 8, 2010, 11am – 1pm
Guest artist: Franklyn Liegel
Franklyn Liegel received his MFA from Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles in 1979 and has lived, worked and taught here ever since. Liegel’s pieces make use of almost ritualistic processes such as stitching, wrapping, and layering, establishing a level of detail and commitment to craft. His work has been noted for its transformative nature, turning the geometric into the organic, the ordinary into the provocative, and the mechanical into the hand-crafted. Liegel is a popular instructor at two well-known Los Angeles area art schools. More details...

CAA Scholarship Award
To maintain ties to the community and to promote the study of collage, Collage Artists supports an annual scholarship for a deserving art student.
At our last meeting (May 22), we presented our new scholarship winner an award of $1000. Her name is Grecia Santiesteban (pictured, right), and she is an art major at Pasadena City College.
Grecia talked about her goals and the techniques involved in her work. The white piece pictured here is made of melted plastic bottles and paint. Congratulations, Grecia!
