The Collage Club will be an ongoing series of semi-structured meet-ups at Studio Bloop in Rozelle. At the collage club, all are welcome to discover and enjoy the vast possibilities inherent in this medium.
Each month we will explore different methods, themes and aspects of creating unique collage artworks. A variety of different collage artist's work will be introduced for you to investigate along with plenty of visual stimulation through books and selected imagery.
Sessions will be semi-guided in the sense that you can feel free to know there is an experienced mentor onboard but that you are also free to travel down your own rabbit-hole if that better suits. We may occasionally work to a theme which can be suggested by group members.
A kit can be purchased on your first session if you need the basics.(Please see add-ons)
After that, all materials like imagery and ephemera/papers are provided. However, do feel free to bring along anything personally evocative for you.
We will tackle the basics of 2D collage composition and work our way to 3D, incorporating found objects and creating narrative dioramas. Various approaches will be explored, encouraged - and discovered!
A small, diverse group will offer good company and constructive feedback.
*No experience necessary. All ages welcome.
*Sessions overseen by a registered art therapist.
*Guest speakers will be invited periodically.
*If you are interested, there may be opportunities to exhibit/sell work at a future date.
