The intention of this series of workshops is to encourage a sense of self-discovery by exploring your identity through the art of collage.

We will be doing some simple exercises so that you can consider aspects of yourself that you may like to incorporate within the collage.

Each week we will explore different techniques such as cutting, ripping, mosaic tiles, using old photos and consider how to use block colour and patterns. We will also be working on different features every week. Culminating in an abstracted self-portrait reflecting your true identity.

Participants to provide own materials (please see information sheet for more information).
