You'll learn about collage styles like colour, texture, form, and image placement. All materials are provided, including over 200 books and magazines on nature, architecture, fashion, and more.
Spend 2.5 hours creating—sorting images, designing layouts, and gluing elements together. We’ll also explore historical techniques for inspiration and guide you in combining elements into balanced compositions.
