With a focus on hands-on exploration, you work with your own photographs, magazines, and historical images to create compositions and create dynamic visual stories.
Sarah introduces you to a variety of methods inspired by both traditional and contemporary collage artists, covering key topics such as composition, concept, and color theory. You also explore how to enhance your collages with mixed media and digital tools. This workshop welcomes participants of all skill levels who are eager to expand their creative practice and develop their artistic voice through the fine art of collage.
