Participants will create mixed-media collage using found vintage materials exploring composition, color, and texture to express a theme such as memory, identity, or transformation. This 2.5 hour workshop emphasizes creative exploration, storytelling, and hands-on process over perfection.

Learning Objectives:

● Understand collage composition (balance, layering, focal point).

● Learn techniques for integrating imagery, texture, and text.

● Explore how personal meaning can be expressed through found materials.

● Create an original collage that reflects a personal theme or memory.

Teaching Approach:

My approach is exploratory, and accessible—welcoming participants of all skill levels. I emphasize discovery and storytelling through found materials, encouraging intuition and imperfection over precision. This workshop fosters community through shared creativity and personal expression.

OPTIONAL Materials to Bring:

● Copies of personal photos/favorite art pieces

● Magazines and old books
