When you see a collage, what story does it tell?

Collages can be so much more than random images placed together. They can capture your history, reflect your passions, or communicate powerful emotions. In this class, we’ll explore how to turn everyday images into visual stories that speak to you and others.

This one represents my mom ♥

Whether you want to use photos of loved ones, create a visual timeline, or explore abstract storytelling through objects, this class is your creative playground.

P.S. If you prefer working with analog tools, I'll share tips to adapt the digital methods to suit your workflow too 🥳

"I never feel like I'm 'copying'"

 
I enjoy how Peggy Dean teaches. I normally need very specific steps, but her way of showing her process is excellent. I never feel like I'm just "copying" when I finish a class of hers.

"It feels as if she's right there with you"

Peggy is an easy to follow teacher. Sometimes you forget it’s a class and you feel as if she’s right there with you….or on a zoom call. She is very natural in her approach.

What a wonderful class, how I never think about digital collage before? It's a wonderful activity and I loved it. The teacher is amazing and she makes very easy to understand.

"This class has given me the confidence to explore..."

 
Peggy Dean makes collage with Procreate so easy! This class has given me the confidence to explore. I loved watching Peggy do real-time collages all on her iPad by utilizing Unsplash and Flickr Commons photos. This class has been extremely helpful!

Sarah D
"I didn't think I could do this"

 
 
This was such a fun class. I didn't think I could do this as well as the projects that I saw. But, I surprised myself! The instructions were easy to follow, and it's amazing how it all comes together, and your imagination just takes over.

Stephanie S
"Perfect class to try something new"

 
 
I had once tried digital collaging in the past and the results were, well, unsatisfactory. But after watching Peggy's class, I already made two collages and I'm rather happy with both of them. I think it's the perfect class for people who have some artistic experience, but would like to try something new. Thank you, Peggy!

I’m Peggy, and creatives like you are exactly who I design classes for.

When I first wanted to develop a practice of making art, I quickly discovered that it certainly wasn’t without its challenges, and the journey to find an approach I’d be consistently happy with took a bit of time.

When I began infusing these practices into my own journey, I found that at the end of my creative sessions, I was more proud of what I'd done and especially more connected to my pieces.

I'm thrilled to share these wins with you, so you can experience them too!
