Explore traditional and contemporary collage techniques, layering textures, materials, and storytelling to create expressive artworks.

Our Collage courses explore both traditional and contemporary collage techniques, from Dada and Cubism to today's mixed-media approaches. You will develop skills in composition, layering, and mixed media, experimenting with paper, textiles, found objects, and paint to create striking visuals that blend texture, color, and narrative.

Through exploration and experimentation, you will learn to cut, layer, and assemble bold, thought-provoking compositions, incorporating intricate paper collages, textured works with paint, ink, and fabric, and personal storytelling through symbolism, text, and abstraction.

By the end of this art course, participants will aim to have completed a series of collage works and a personal project showcasing their unique style. This course is open to all levels and encourages both structured design and spontaneous expression.
