In this Paper Collage Workshop, we'll dive into the world of collage art, crafting unique pieces with paper and fabric as our primary mediums. Through exploration and experimentation, participants will discover a variety of techniques and approaches, drawing inspiration from different examples. During our time together, participants will have the option to focus solely on paper collage or to combine it with drawing and painting. Throughout the workshop, we'll nurture both imaginative and exploratory methods in collage-making, encouraging participants to push the boundaries of their creativity while refining their skills in composition and design. From spontaneous compositions to more detailed and refined pieces, each participant will have the opportunity to develop their unique collage style. By the end of the workshop, participants will not only have created captivating collage artworks but will also have gained a deeper understanding of the craft. Let's Cut, Paste, Create together!
Materials will be provided, but we encourage participants to bring old books with many images or magazines that they can use during the workshop.
