In-Person Workshops
Spend the day with curious creatives, tapping into our intuition and working from that open space we access by letting go.
We’ll create our own unique collage papers, using everyday tools that will surprise and delight! Papers include everything from transparent tissue paper and old books to your own memorabilia. I’ve developed a special way to dye tissue paper, that can result in beautiful layers of subtle, or bold colors. Come and experiment with me!
Looking at color, composition, and content, we’ll spend the day incorporating these into two finished, ready to hang works of art. The final layer can be encaustic (beeswax) if you wish. I’ll be sharing lots of new information from my many years teaching art. Supportive, non-critical, and fun! Beginners and advanced artists welcome.

Testimonials
“I loved what I’d seen people create in Karen’s classes on her Instagram/FB posts, and even though it was something I wanted to do, I was afraid I’d suck at it. But Karen is an amazing teacher. She shows you techniques, gives you the tools, and lets you go to town... It’s almost magical how the work comes together. It’s fun! Two of the women in my class were there for the second time, that’s how fun it is!”
“Karen is a born teacher and a terrific artist. She makes the class fun and you leave with 2 finished works of art! I have taken her class twice and will do again!”

Mentorship
A new Opportunity to dive deeper into your art. I have been asked to mentor students who have taken my workshop. I offer you a wall, a table, materials, and the amount of feedback you want. We work side by side for several days, you may build your portfolio, work larger or just experiment. I am here to meet your artistic needs and have fun doing so! I am happy to brainstorm with you, and come up with an exciting plan. Cost: $500, per 5 hour day.
“My 3-day, one-on-one art mentorship with Karen Meadows in January 2025 was an incredible and transformative experience. Working alongside Karen in her ICB studio in Sausalito, I had the unique opportunity to immerse myself in my own creative process while observing hers firsthand. She generously cleared a large space for me to work, allowing for a natural and inspiring exchange of energy. Karen provided guidance whenever I needed it, yet gave me the freedom to explore my own direction. Simply watching her approach large commission pieces was invaluable—I absorbed so much implicit knowledge about technique, composition, and artistic intuition. Beyond her immense talent, Karen is a kind, patient, and generous teacher, making the mentorship fun, enriching and deeply rewarding. I left feeling so inspired, and more connected to my own artistic voice.” ~ Dr. Kate Beebe De Varney
