Introduction to Photomontage Collaging Techniques Workshop with Fiona Hodges

Step into the world of photomontage collage—an artistic practice that blends images from various sources to create entirely new and imaginative works of art. In this one-day workshop, you’ll learn how to transform pictures found from books, magazines and anywhere else you can find them into striking, thought-provoking visual compositions.
What Is Photomontage Collage?
Photomontage collage involves cutting, assembling, and layering images from different sources to create a single cohesive piece. Artists often use this technique to convey surreal, abstract, or symbolic narratives that challenge the viewer’s perception. It’s a highly expressive and creative form of art that encourages experimentation with both imagery and meaning.
What You’ll Learn:
During the workshop, you will be introduced to:
Essential Tools: Scissors, craft knives, cutting mats, and adhesives.
Image Sourcing & Selection: How to find compelling images in books and magazines to suit your creative vision.
Techniques for Layering: Explore how to overlap and blend images to form depth and dimension.
Composition & Balance: Discover how to arrange images in a visually pleasing or intentionally disorienting way.
Text & Imagery: Learn how to combine text with your images to convey messages or create contrast.
