In this course we’ll start by preparing papers for collages and go on to produce collage works from prepared papers and also from 'found' and recycled papers (including discarded drawings, paintings and printed material).
Referencing the work of Matisse, John Piper, Max Ernst and Mark Hearld, and others we’ll explore several different collage techniques for making 'pure collages' and 'mixed media collages' embellished with drawing and painting media.
Please bring your own materials and equipment as in the information below.
Please bring;
Acrylic paint and palette, brushes, water pots, pencil.
Alternatively use watercolour or gouache but papers prepared with these require more care for gluing.
Scissors, craft knife if you have one, newspaper, paper towel
Glue: acrylic medium, PVA, Mod-Podge or Pritt Stick
Glue brush, tweezers (useful for picking up small pieces)
Light-weight cartridge paper for prepared papers and support for the collage (any heavy-weight paper 300gsm or more, or mount board or similar). We’ll prepare painted papers from the cartridge paper and you may like to experiment with other papers for making prepared papers.
A small A4 cutting mat would be useful if you have one.
We’ll discuss the use of 'found papers', recycling drawings and paintings, addition of media like; crayon, pen lines, further paint etc. during subsequent weeks.

Telling the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton.
Sir Nicholas Winton was a young London broker who, along with Trevor Chadwick and Doreen Warriner of the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia, rescued 669 children from the Nazis in the months leading up to World War II.
Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realised it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed?
Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England. It’s not until a live BBC television show, That’s Life!, surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children – now adults – that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.
Starring Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Flynn, Helena Bonham Carter, Jonathan Pryce and Romola Garai.
