About the Course

The Introduction to Collage 3 week course is ideal if you are curious but not sure where to start. Across three relaxed and creative sessions, you’ll explore different approaches to collage; learning how to use form, pattern, shape, colour and typography to create appealing layered images.

Course Structure

Week 1 – Photo Rearrangement

Get creative using just one magazine. Collage doesn’t have to mean lots of different papers — you can create striking artwork from a single resource.

Week 2 – Colour

Explore colour as a powerful design element in your collage work.

Week 3 – Typography as Pattern

Experiment with text as a visual element.

What to Bring

All papers, boards, glues and scissors are provided, along with tea and coffee.

You may wish to bring:

• A small sketchbook (optional)
• A folder to take your artwork home
• Your own favourite scissors

Suitable for complete beginners — no previous experience needed, just an interest in exploring the creative options of collaging.
