Collage can loosely be defined by bringing together and reimagining source material. It is an accessible, playful and FUN medium to create with. Elyse will share her own collage practice and methods with us, hoping to ignite our curiosity and imagination as we create our own collages.

Guests are encouraged to bring material to collage with. This can be done by hand (analog) with materials such as paper, magazines, photographs, fabric, paint, pencils, scissors, Exacto knives and glue. Or digitally on a computer with either photoshop or the free, open-source image editor, Gimp https://www.gimp.org installed.

This workshop is free to attend. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Masks are recommended but not required.
