Event Details
Come down to 1345 18th Street in San Francisco.
October 1st from 4-6pm
We’ll be having champagne and lots of fun.

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!
