COLLAGE CLUB
in person at my LA Studio (Miracle Mile)
Join Collage Club on Sunday afternoons 1-4 in person at my studio in Los Angeles!
Collage itself is a potent metaphor – to cut up fragments & disassemble what is readily available to us in our world – and then re-ordering it into a new whole. This IS transformation and transmutation – a way to process and re-make our inner & outer worlds. Such an accessible and sophisticated art form with a long history! Join with some friends. You will be guided with prompts (if desired) and art historical inspiration to begin.
Art & Community at its finest. Fierce creative energy at play! Building community, connection & resilience in the face of the dark forces of our times. Guided fun & cut and paste mayhem with a lot of nourishing spiritual magic. Imperfection welcome.
For all levels — beginner to professional. No experience necessary.

Client Reviews & Endorsements
I have had the privilege to work with Carole Silverstein for over a year in her “inner jewels” group workshops as well as private sessions. A gifted artist and teacher with years of experience, Carole knows how to open the “doors of perception” leading to new explorations and creative possibilities. Her positive stance and nurturing support are palpable and give rise to unmistakable empathy. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
I’ve had the privilege to work with Carole as my art coach for over a decade. It’s rare to find someone who is not only artistically talented, but someone who, in a loving way holds the space so you can discover your own voice and expression as an artist—at the same time providing useful tools, encouragement and inspiration along the way.
Empowered is the first word that comes to mind when describing working with Carole Silverstein. I was initially drawn to her from one of her flyers about creativity, imagination and consciousness. At the time, I was struggling with my artistic direction and finding myself bored and boxed in by the paintings I was producing.
Reviewing my portfolio with her for the first time was emotionally profound. As she described the strength of my compositions and my striking use of color, tears welled up in my eyes. Listening to her words, filled with unique insight and an acute understanding of art history, inspired and renewed me. I was overcome by a tender appreciation for myself and the artistic efforts that I had put in over the years.
This artistic, self-appreciation continued to grow as we worked together over several months. My art was starting to jump! It was becoming more spontaneous, visionary and experimental. If you are ready to breathe new life into your portfolio and your life, please consider spending some quality time with Carole, your artistic imagination will thank you.
Carole Silverstein is a warm, engaging and enthusiastic woman with a passion for art, art history and art education. She’s not only a uniquely creative and gifted artist with a well-crafted and unparalleled aesthetic, but she is truly one of the finest art educators that I’ve ever worked with. She is knowledgeable and articulate, and equally important she is kind and quite sensitive to her students needs and differences. Carole has a natural ability to motivate and inspire, while teaching skill-building techniques, and well developed concepts. Carole Silverstein is a person of true substance that I’ve admired as a friend and colleague for many years.
Carole Silverstein is my treasured colleague of many years. I have invited her to teach in my classes and admire her ability to inspire students with her beautiful work as well as with her skillful teaching. In the past two years I had the privilege to participate in Carole’s Art & Consciousness Creativity Circles exploring archetypes. Her choice of themes as well as her related slideshows are superbly inspiring and insightful. As practicing artists, we get stuck in our own circles and Carole’s workshops are a cure for this. She helps you tap into other layers and step beyond your habitual anchors. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned artist I highly recommend Carole’s guidance.
I first discovered Carole’s work while seeking out celluloid film based mediums to incorporate into my art. Immediately resonating with her style I sent her an email requesting personal advice. Carole gladly provided me with answers and informed me about her remote private art lessons. Ecstatic, I enrolled for 5 one-on-one sessions with Carole and was guided through a wealth of information about: Art History and Artists, Color Theory, Acrylic Mediums and Watercolors, brushes, techniques, and presentation.
