Meet the artists…

Introducing Kay Hodges
When I met Kay Hodges, I was so impressed with her letterpress art. Kay has always been attracted to written print, fonts, typography and quotations. She expresses this passion using old vintage wood type letterpress. The pieces are from all over the country, each with its own unique patina.

She create words, names, sayings and personal collages. Each is a one-of-a-kind piece, keeping the beauty of letterpress alive! In addition to showing word groups and framed pieces, She will have thousands of letters, numbers, punctuation and accent blocks.

The best part about hanging out with Kay is that you get to participate in the art. Come sip champagne and create your own personal word poetry. Let the fun begin!

Introducing Begoña Rentero
OK, I couldn’t resist. I know we try to keep it really local at Collage but when I saw this Spanish artist’s work, I couldn’t help myself. Begoña creates amazing jewelry out of special papers, natural fibres and pigments that she dyes manually, making each piece one of a kind. Fluctuating between figurative and abstraction, her most recent designs are inspired by nature and are full of color. Each piece of jewelry is unique and completely handmade.

You really have to see Begoña’s work in person. Her creativity is as inspiring as her work is beautiful.

Come sip champagne and enjoy an afternoon on Potrero Hill.

I hope to see you there!

August 10th through 21st – 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Introducing Collage Pop Up.

If you’ve been to Collage Gallery recently, you know that we’re overflowing with fabulous new finds. In response, we’ve expanded to a very special location across the bridge in Marin. We’re calling it Collage Pop Up.

We often hear from our fans in Marin that they love Collage Gallery in SF, but can’t make the drive as often as they would like. We recently found an open storefront in Marin and we’ll be moving in for just two weeks. (SF folks, if you haven’t been to the charming city of Ross, you should definetly check it out.)

At Collage, we’re in the business of bringing you the most interesting and unique home decor and gifts. That’s why I’m joining forces with two fabulous designers for this special event: Sylvia Barsky and Maria-Tina Karamanlakis.

Maria-Tina is an amazing goldsmith and jewelry designer who works with fire, multiple metals and precious stones, including diamonds, rubies and emeralds. Her work is inspired by her Greek ancestry, and the ancient Minoan Culture. Maria-Tina is also a 6-time emmy award winning multimedia artist.

Sylvia ran Persimmon Clothing & Accessories in Mill Valley. Sylvia’s father was the designer of the Tea Gardens in Golden Gate Park, and Sylvia has many treasures from his travels. At Collage Pop Up, Sylvia will be featuring rare Canton Ware and Japanese Imari bowls, vintage HEATH plates from the 1960s, a pre-war Japanese opium table, and her fabulous Persian Peacock Tunics and Silks.

We’re getting together and featuring an eclectic blend of treasures with worldwide finds from antiques to modern. We’ll have great jewelry, art, furniture, clothing and decorative accessories & much more (including some items at sale prices).

So, from August 10th to August 21st, please join us at Collage Pop Up in Ross, CA.

We’ll be open from 11am to 6pm, 7 days a week.

The address is 5 Ross Common in the city of Ross, CA in Marin.
