The Art of Memory & Making: Reflective Collage Art Workshop
The Art of Memory & Making is an intimate, hands-on collage art workshop that invites you to slow down, reflect, and transform memory into visual storytelling. Over the course of four hours, you’ll explore your own person archives – stories, symbols, and fragments of time – while learning how to turn them into powerful, meaningful collage artworks. This workshop is designed to be both creative and contemplative, offering a supportive space for self-expression, sharing, and mindful art making.
🎨 No Experience Required 🪩 Open to All Levels of Artistry 📚 All Materials Provided
✨ What to Expect ✨
✍️ Reflect & Connect: We begin with guided prompts and conversation that gently invites you to reflect on a memory, feeling, or formative experience. This moment of stillness helps to ground your creative direction.
✂️ Explore & Create: You’ll be introduced to a curated collection of materials – vintage magazines, books, found paper, and personal ephemera. Through demonstrations and hands-on guidance, you’ll explore collage techniques like layers, composition, and visual storytelling.
🫶 Share & Celebrate: We’ll close the workshop with a gentle group sharing circle. You’re welcome to talk about your piece (if you’d like), reflect on your own creative journey, and celebrate each other’s stories.
✌🏼 Still not sure what to expect? Read this blog post here, it goes over (mostly) everything to expect!
