Tutor - Sue Pickering

1-day workshop

Saturday 5 July, 10.30am - 4.30pm

Collage (the process of arranging and sticking down pieces of paper, photographs, fabric and other ephemera) has had an important place in art for over a century (artists such as Picasso and Matisse used it in their work). The contemporary collage world is a vibrant area of art practice and many artists now use found and handmade collage papers to create stunning artworks.

In this workshop you will have the opportunity to explore the world of collage art and create one or more collages using a range of different papers. Collages can be abstract or realistic. You will discover some of the key materials and processes used in collage art and think about how to create effective collage compositions using opaque and translucent papers.

All key materials are provided. However, you are encouraged to bring some papers along with you. These can be old magazines, books, tissue paper, wrapping paper and other interesting papers.

Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for using acrylic medium and bring a bag or portfolio with you to take work away at the end of the day, bearing in mind some of it may still be wet.

Suitable for all abilities.
