Course overview
Course description
The bases you choose to create your collage on can be anything – cereal box, piece of wood, cardboard
packaging, whatever you have to hand. A hardback note book is also a great idea to collage in as you
can see your progress and return to it time and again.
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:
v What can be used in a collage
v Glues and glazes
v Creating your own collage papers
v Professional collage artists work
v Placement and focal points
v 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 ‘Christmas in September’ – making a start on our
handmade festive cards. Maybe you would like to try ‘Festive Fun Makes’ – making fun foam decorations
to hang on the tree or what about individual tiny gift boxes for on the table each containing a delightful
surprise to wow your family?
