About this Event
Recycled Memories: An Art Nest Collage Workshop ♻️🗞️✂️✨
What is Art Nest?
Art Nest is a midweek creative reset, a chance to spend a couple of hours creating, meeting like-minded people and unwinding.
We get together at The Angry Dog Bar, just a short walk from Southern Cross Station, for an evening of art, chats, snacks and good vibes.
This time, we’re trying something new! ♻️ Recycled Memories is a creative collage workshop where we’ll revisit, reuse and reimagine images and materials from our previous Art Nest sessions.
We’ll be bringing together familiar references from past themes, vintage magazines, found images and all sorts of interesting bits and pieces to create something entirely new. Through cutting, layering and rearranging, we’ll transform old materials into fresh visual stories.
✨ No prior collage experience needed! Just bring your curiosity, imagination and willingness to experiment.
