MARY LYNN BAIRD​

COLLAGE ARTIST 

​

OUR THEME FOR THIS COLLAGE

WILL BE "HOME"

THE WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD APRIL 22, 2026

 

Mary Lynn Baird grew up on a farm in Nebraska and then moved to Colorado where she taught elementary art for 32 years—27 in Englewood. Being a passionate practicing artist while teaching was very important to her, allowing her students to inspire and artistically form her in ways she would have never imagined. When she retired as an art teacher she knew she wanted to continue her artist journey but also knew she didn’t want to do it alone. That is how Outside the Box Studio came to be. Examples of my work.

Supply list for collage class:

 

Substrate to work on:

 

•wood panel or cradle board-any size between an 8 x10 - 12 x 12 (I will be using an 8 x 12 wood panel)

(I prefer this over canvas. You can also use a canvas but sometimes it is trickier to work on a flexible surface.)

​

•Sharp scissors are a must. Small scissors are helpful for cutting small detailed images.

​

•Matt Medium (this can be shared)

​

•Modeling paste (this can be shared)  (I will be bringing some as well)​

​

•Stencils (if you have ones you prefer) I will also bring some.

 

•Acrylic paints and brushes of various sizes

​

•Container for water

 

•Magazines

 

•Collage Papers (if you have any)

 

•Images that you love or photocopies of people/things that define HOME for you

 

•colored pencils & posca pens (if you have them)
