About the Class

Unlock your creativity through the art of analog magazine collage in this playful and exploratory 5-week course for absolute beginners. If you’re looking for a fresh creative outlet, Cut & Paste offers a welcoming space to reconnect with your artistic instincts, develop visual language, and discover the power of paper, scissors, and self-expression.

Each week, we’ll dive into a new aspect of collage—starting with the basics of composition and image selection, then expanding into layering, texture, storytelling, text integration, and portraiture. You’ll learn how to build emotional depth and visual interest through hands-on projects that blend intuition with technique.

Class time includes instructor demos, guided exercises, personal project time, and group sharing to build confidence and community. Along the way, you'll create a vibrant collection of finished collages that reflect your voice, vision, and growth.

Whether you're drawn to bold visuals, quiet symbolism, or expressive portraits, this course invites you to cut loose and play creatively!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Learn foundational collage techniques using magazines, newspapers, catalogs, books, and other ephemera
Develop visual storytelling skills through layout, layering, and symbolism
Create expressive, original artworks
Explore how to use color, texture, and typography in meaningful ways
Build creative confidence in a supportive, judgment-free environment

Register below and join us in the LifeAlchemy Academy™.
In that space, Kristen will be sharing her insights and answering questions in a private discussion forum. It will also be a place to share your collage art and meet your fellow creatives as you all move through the course.

Meet LifeAlchemist, Kiala Givehand

Kiala Givehand, Creator of The LifeAlchemy Academy™

Hello Beautiful Creative You!
I'm happy you're here. I'm Kiala Givehand, a multi-passionate intuitive & intentional creative. I walk through the world as a LifeAlchemist™ for creative, heart-centered, soul-filled women who want to change the world by shining their light more fully and more brightly. I call myself a LifeAlchemist™ because I help women bring together all the parts of themselves to create a life they love. As an Alchemist, I support women through creative and spiritual awakenings and guide them towards empowerment.

As an artist, I make (and sometimes sell) handmade journals using a mix of mediums. I host workshops, retreats and online classes where I get to teach the things that nourish my soul -- bookbinding, journaling, printmaking, creative writing, astrology, Tarot, Human Design, and self-discovery through transformational tools and content.

For almost 20 years, I taught English, Language Arts, and Creative Writing at every educational level, while simultaneously traveling the U.S. delivering workshops and presentations to educators. While I no longer travel to work with teachers, I now enjoy working one-on-one and in small groups with mystics, seekers, healers, & creatives. I do this work because I love helping women find the thing that fills them with joy and watching them pursue it without regrets or apologies.

I cherish every single day and treat life as one amazing adventure. I play with paint and watercolor, fold paper into books, write poetry, short fiction, & creative non-fiction, and guide women through sacred remembering of who they truly are. But always, every single day, I journal and do something that I feel is creative. Oh!! And did I mention that I'm the proud owner of a fabulous (and ever growing) collection of fountain pens? (I know. Geek alert!)

Join me in The LifeAlchemy Academy™ and let's create something beautiful, TODAY!!

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the CLASS start and finish?

Please see the dates above for the start of the class. Once you register you get access to any pre-session content.

What if I don't know anything about making magazine collages?

This is a class for all levels. Kristen is sharing her way of creating magazine collage art so it may be new to all who are joining.

What if I can't attend any of the live sessions?

Each session is recorded and made available shortly after it ends. You can rewatch as many times as you need to while the content is available.

Attendance at TWO of the sessions is required if you will seek certification in the future.

What if i have never worked with collage before?

You are welcomed here. Come on in. If you are curious and open, you're in the right place.

Do you guarantee that I will have a better collage art after this class?

Absolutely not. We can't guarantee that because at LifeAlchemy Academy™, we believe that your understanding of any tool or technique depends on your willingness to study it, work with it, and practice. There is also great benefit in honing your intuition. Without these things, your understanding of any creative tool will remain surface level.

What if I am unhappy with the offering?

Once you get access to the content of the class, you will not be eligible for a refund. If you are unhappy after the content becomes available, email me (Kiala) and let's chat. Life getting in the way, or screwing up the time zone are NOT refundable situations. Please purchase mindfully.
