They will transform ananimal subject from a 2D photo to a 3D soft sculpture, painting with wool! This workshop values process over product. Hollis encourages anyone of any skill level to learn these techniques that can be mastered to create beautiful 3D soft sculptures!

We’ll have light refreshments and nibbles.
Hi there! My name is Lila and I am currently a junior at Attleboro High School. Growing up in a family of educators and creatives, capturing different stories and perspectives through digital photography is something that just makes sense to me. I first “discovered” this art form at NEIT Photography Pre-College Program in 2024 and have since then spent countless hours behind the viewfinder and in Lightroom honing the skills of light, color, and composition. Though I shoot a variety of subject matter, including portraiture, architecture, short films, and astrophotography, I enjoy photographing birds, wildlife, and nature most. After attending the Susquehanna University Photography Institute and being the first time recipient of their “Best In Show” award this past summer, I move forward with the continuous hope of growing as an artist and into my unique style.
Behind the camera, I am an avid reader, writer, and movie buff with a passion for extending access to education and the arts. I am honored to be showing at The Collaborative and am forever grateful for this local outlet for the artistic community!

Last Day to View - Isabelle Williamson
My name is Isabelle Williamson, but you can call me Belle. I am currently a senior at Dighton Rehoboth Regional Highschool! Art has been an incredible passion of mine since I was a little kid. Personally, I find that creating allows me to share the good in the world! I love to illustrate the things that bring me joy. Friends, family, food, and pets, are my favorite inspirations. I also love to have fun in my art, my personal style blends realism with many shapes and colors.
I plan to keep going with this passion in my future, and pursue art education!
You can find more of my art on my instagram!: @Skribelled
Last day to view - Martin Donnell
My work examines the idea of recycling and reusing. I use aluminum beverage cans, repurposing the material to make my images. I worked for over 35 years in corporate design, and I like the idea that I am not only recycling the aluminum can itself, but also that I can reuse the graphic design work that went into the making of the cans. I like taking them from their intended purpose, as packaging for soda or beer, and giving them a new meaning.
Originally from Elkhart Indiana, I have lived in New England since 1986, working as an athletic footwear designer until retiring and moving to Warren last year.
Last Day to View - Andrew Desforges
Andrew Desforges lives and works as a Visual Designer in Warren, RI. He holds an MFA in Design, Printmaking, and Book Arts from the University of Iowa. His painting work draws from the many unique creatures and shorelines of the Ocean State.

Ornament Decorating with Faye!
Faye Silvia is a Mixed-media illustrator with a BFA in Illustration ‘22 and MAT in Art Education ‘24. They take inspiration from folk art, outsider art, and horror. They use mixed media to inform their artworks; two pieces may have the same subject but look completely different because of the materials used. They incorporate media exploration, spontaneity, and human error into their works. This process is what brings them back to making art again and again.
Last day to register for Small Works!

Last Day - Kian Burke-Sanchez
LAST DAY TO VIEW
Kian Burke-Sanchez
NOV. 1st 3-9PMpm at 4 Market St. Warren RI
Kian Burke Sanchez is an Irish born Puerto Rican artist based in PVD, RI. He is a teenager, 16 yrs old, and is exploring all the changes associated with this age through his work. His work has been featured in various children’s magazines including Anorak (UK) and Root&Star (US). As part of his self directed learning, he reads about art history and creates art daily, an intentional practice of combining book knowledge with experiential learning. He is part of the creative team at Giraffes and Robots Pop Art Studio and in this most recent series, Happy Little Mountains, he uses, as a base, techniques he learnt from The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. From this starting point, colorful landscapes with a retro feel emerge on the canvas and are then enriched with the addition of curious whimsical elements that surprise the viewer in joyful ways. These additions are a nod to humor and the joys of curiosity. They incorporate pop culture and local Rhode Island landmarks within the landscape to give the viewer a moment of joy. Combining joy and the unexpected as a counterbalance to the turbulence and distress that presently permeate our culture. Each piece opens the viewer to the possibility of small moments of joy, curiosity and happiness.
