Collage Backyard Bird: Dark-eyed Junco
Collage one of the most common backyard bird cuties in the Pacific Northwest – the Dark-eyed Junco! This class is appropriate for beginners to advanced.
Learn to collage a backyard bird using recycled painted paper! This in-person class will focus on collaging a backyard bird in their environment. We will create a collage of a Dark-eyed Junco and the class will focus on colors and design of the background and bird. An image of the Junco will be provided. At the end of the class students will have a complete or near complete collage of the Dark-eyed Junco. Teal will offer supportive feedback and an atmosphere of fun creative learning.

Meet the Instructor
Teal Buehler
I grew up a child of well-known artist parents in Trinidad, California, a small town known for its rain, fog, and coastal scenery. I spent most of my time outside at the beach, rivers, and in the woods which created a strong connection to nature. I studied drawing, painting, collage and ceramics; graduating from Humboldt State University with a bachelor’s degree in art. I treasure nature and animals, which have been incorporated into most of my pieces.
The Pacific Northwest and Mojave Desert provide a natural beauty that continues to inspire the development of my work. In my studio I can call on past and current experiences, visions and illustrations to create these unique impressions of the natural world. My physical journeys are reflected in my designs and I am intrigued to follow this path and see where it takes my art. I keep exploring the outdoors to develop this vision of the natural world as I see it.
