Over the course of the day, we’ll delve into different collage approaches to create 3 collage pieces exploring our own experiences, and aspirations for care and connection in our lives in these challenging times. As we create, we’ll have the opportunity to share together in a gentle, supportive space. No prior experience of art making or collage is needed, as this workshop is not about artistic skills or abilities, but about finding your own creative expression which we all have within us. All materials are provided but feel free to bring along anything you’d like to work with on the day. The workshop is open to all adults, and includes an hour for lunch.
