MIXED MEDIA: CREATING COLLAGES

Date: Saturday 15 June

Time:11am-2.30pm

Work with Artist Alacoque Davey to make your own collages. We will begin by creating papers using colour and mark making. With painting, drawing, rubbing and printing techniques we will transform blank paper with colour and pattern.

After a short break, leaving our sheets to dry, we will then begin ‘drawing with scissors’ cutting into the paper to create motifs and shapes. Using these cut outs we will play with composition and assemblage before finally glueing the shapes into place to create unique collaged artworks.

The emphasis will be on playful experimentation while encouraging each participant to work at their own pace, with the aim of discovering the simple pleasure of working with paper and scissors.

This workshop coincides with Alacoque Davey’s upcoming exhibition ‘AS I SEE IT’ which opens Sat 8 June to Sat 6 July.
