I am closing this group as I transition to a new creative direction. Moving forward, I will no longer be teaching collage techniques online or in person. Instead, I am pivoting to use collage simply as the medium to deliver my core workbook and video content. In the future, I plan to develop a specialized workbook that combines storytelling, comics, and collage to help clients process deep emotions and trauma (which I may pursue professional licensing for down the road). As well as teach a similar style for organizations. If you want to keep following my journey, listen to my audiobook dramas and learn how to monetize your own creative skills, here is where you can find me: 1. YouTube.com/@papercollage: Home of the Starving Artist Fed Artist Confidence series. I teach artists, creatives, and hobbyists how to package their knowledge and get paid by their community. Tune in for step-by-step videos on pitching and finding teaching opportunities, downloadable cards/planners, 1:1 consultation calls, and weekly Live-streams for Q&As. 2. YouTube.com/@iamnakiashade: Follow my central brand channel for audiobook drama and motion comic updates. Thank you for your support, and see you on YouTube!
