About this Event
Surreal Story Collage Workshop
In this two-hour creative session, you'll dive into the world of collage, using old books, magazines, and craft supplies to build a one-of-a-kind collage universe. Then, bring your artwork to life by writing a short story that captures the essence of your creation!
What to Expect:
- Collage Crafting: Sam will guide you through creating a unique collage using a range of provided materials. You can also bring any personal craft bits you'd like to incorporate into your artwork.
- Storytelling: Once your collage is complete, you'll write a story that brings your characters, scenes, and surreal world to life, blending visual and written creativity.
- Personal Touches: Feel free to bring a frame to take your masterpiece home, ready to display!
What to Bring:
- Any craft materials you’d like to add to your collage (optional).
- A frame to showcase your artwork at home (optional).
All collage materials will be provided.
