Each month brings a different theme-based project that will be completely unique to you! (Stay up to date on monthly themes by following Brittany on Instagram @brittanylopezburton). You will go home with an A4 masterpiece, as well as an optional greeting card or postcard to share with someone else.
You don’t need any experience to join the workshop and we provide all the materials. However feel free to bring your own images and/or magazines to incorporate into your collage.
Invite a friend along for a great night out!
Why Collage?
Collage is not only a fun and expressive art form, but it also offers a wealth of mental and emotional benefits, including:
- Boosts Creativity: Encourages experimentation and out-of-the-box thinking as you work with a range of materials and techniques.
- Reduces Stress: The tactile process of tearing, cutting, and assembling can be incredibly meditative and calming.
- Enhances Focus: Focusing on the creation process helps quiet the mind and can increase mindfulness.
- Encourages Problem Solving: Combining different elements to form a cohesive image boosts your ability to think critically and creatively.
Whether you’re an experienced artist or a complete beginner, collage offers a unique way to express your ideas, emotions, and personal style.
