The Art of Collage Workshop
Saturday 21 September 10am-1:30pm - £40 per participant (max 6)
The Beach, 197 Waldegrave Road, Teddington
Join the artists for a workshop exploring the experimental potential of collage and mono-print. Drawing from found papers and using a portable etching press, we will investigate the expressive and evocative possibilities of the process, drawing connections between image, icon, text, shape and line.
This three and a half hour session (including a 20 minute coffee break) will cover many aspects of collage technique and construction, with materials provided. The workshop will take place in the gallery with a maximum of 6 participants.
We will work with a wide selection of materials, including coloured, patterned, textured papers, prints, photographs, and other ephemera including maps, texts and diagrams.
Participants will be able to combine mono-print with their work, using inks and a small etching press.
We will look at examples from the history of 20th century collage and discuss mixed media approaches. This session is all about open-ended exploration and experimentation.
