Collage Your Story

with Salina Jane

One-day workshop, 10am-4pm

Explore your personal story, history, culture and identity though the medium of collage.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

In this fun, exploratory workshop we will be introduced to collage and how we can use this medium to explore our own culture, and stories to create personal art. We will explore some collage techniques, be inspired by some amazing collage artists and experiment with images to create sometime unique and special.  If you can cut you can collage, no special skills required, just a pair of scissors, some papers and found images, and a willingness to try.
