Workshop Description

Painting with Paper: Creating a Collage and Exploring Mixed Media

This workshop will focus on how to look at paper through the lens of collage making. Using magazines and fine art papers, participants will be inspired to look at papers as materials in themselves and explore the multitude of textures and colours that can be used to create a complex collage. Needing no more than paper, scissors and glue, this can be a very mediative art practice that you can do without needed many supplies or space.
