Heat Transfer Collage Workshop

1️⃣ Collage 2️⃣ Scan 3️⃣ Print 4️⃣ Iron

In this workshop, Collage Artist Julia Walck will teach you everything you need to know about collage! Julia will give a brief how-to collage tutorial, then you get to cut and paste using her personal stash of vintage magazines. This is a small class size, so if you have questions as you go, she's around for one-on-one help.

Once you’ve made your collage, we’ll scan it in and print it out on heat transfer paper to iron onto the item of clothing you brought. You’ll take home your original collage, and an up-cycled item of clothing!

If you have a rough idea for a collage already, great! If not, no worries. PLAY is the best part of collage and the unknown is your friend. An idea will come to you along the way and it will all fall into place!

BYO thrifted or old shirt to up-cycle! It should either be white, or a light color for the transfer paper to work. Here are a few examples below of how transfers look on various light-colored clothing. The green example is probably the darkest you would want to go, as the color of the shirt slightly shows through on the transfer. (Which is why a white/light t-shirt would work the best!)

★★★★★ BEYOND UNIQUE

Julia Walck’s class is beyond unique, creative and wildly fun! She is a great instructor! It’s a very organized, efficient and easy to follow workshop. Very satisfying to leave with an original one of a kind piece of personal art.

★★★★★ RELAXING AND INSPIRING

The vibe was super chill and creative, with tons of magazines to choose from and plenty of room to explore. Julia was friendly, helpful and made everyone feel welcome. It was the perfect mix of relaxing and inspiring – I left feeling refreshed and creatively recharged!
