Craft: Calming Collage

The bases you choose to create your collage on can be anything – cereal box, piece of wood, cardboard packaging, whatever you have to hand.

The papers you use can be plain or patterned, images or text, cut or roughly torn; whatever you want. It can be new or used – kids paintings, colouring pages, old wallpaper or new samples.

During this course we will look at:

 What can be used in a collage

 Glues and glazes

 Creating your own collage papers

 Professional collage artists work

 Placement and focal points

 Colours and contrasts

During each session you will have the chance to comment on your fellow classmates work, give them feedback and receive feedback on your own work. This sharing of ideas can be incredibly inspiring and instil confidence in yourself and your creative work.

After completing this creative course you will be able to share what you have made with your family and friends and collage is a wonderful project to do with children. In order to develop your creative skills further you can enrol on another craft course such as ‘Easter cards and gifts’, or if you are already a card maker and want to stretch yourself why not try ‘Diorama and Pop-Up cards’ Maybe you are into junk journals and would enjoy making a mini album with a difference, and an expandable storage wallet.
