Participants will create mixed-media collage using found vintage materials and personal imagery, exploring composition, color, and texture to express a theme such as memory, identity, or transformation. This 2.5 hour workshop emphasizes creative exploration, storytelling, and hands-on process over perfection.

Learning Objectives:
Understand collage composition (balance, layering, focal point).
Learn techniques for integrating imagery, texture, and text.
Explore how personal meaning can be expressed through found materials.
Create an original collage that reflects a personal theme or memory.
Workshop Outline (2.5 hours)
Welcome & Introduction (10–15 min): Overview of collage practice and group introductions.
Concept & Inspiration (20 min): Short demo on composition and Layering, review of inspiration
Material Exploration & Collage Construction (60 min + 10 min break): Participants create collages using found materials
Sharing & Reflection (20 min): Group share-out and discussion on composition and meaning.
Closing & Cleanup (10–15 min): Wrap-up and optional documentation of work.
Teaching Approach
My approach is exploratory, and accessible—welcoming participants of all skill levels. I emphasize discovery and storytelling through materials, encouraging intuition and imperfection over precision. The workshop fosters community through shared creativity and personal expression.
Instructor: Rachel Tallant
