The Forest and the Ruin: Collage Workshop

Please note: this event will be held in person.

This 2-hour workshop will introduce you to the art of collage. Through prompts, you will explore the basic concepts of cutting, sticking, ripping, mixing and composing images. The workshop will look at collage as an act of world-building and imagination, thinking of re-ordering as a way to consider new possibilities. You will take home a selection of playful collage pieces and a prompts sheet to keep the experiments going. 

Olivia is an illustrator and printmaker based in Glasgow, mainly working with analogue processes. Much of her work draws attention to fleeting atmospheres and unexpected moments of reflection; driven by observation, she explore how different elements come together to create multi-layered stories.
