Collage Contemplation: The Art of Looking


Make a collage while exploring ‘contemplation:’ the art of looking deeply. 

Participants are invited to experience the joy of creative play, of exploring materials, looking at them deeply and seeing what 'wants to happen' on the page or canvas. With expert guidance from visual artist Rachel Monique Walker, everyone can feel confident and comfortable with the process of making a handmade collage.

We start with a visual prompt to guide the activity and participants then have the opportunity to select items from a rich library of visual materials including images from magazines, books and other collected print material. 

This January, we will be looking towards what's feeling fresh and new, with a collage meditation that involves taking stock of the previous year and stepping into the new one. 

Previous participant Kate said: " I loved working with found materials and seeing how things evolved."

Wow! What an amazing opportunity to contemplate while letting our creativity flow! This class hosted a safe space where all ideas were shared and appreciated, nurturing the ability to look deeper. A range of materials were provided, like magazines, scraps, books and embellishments allowing me and my friend to express ourselves through art. Everyone was encouraged to share their ideas, and I walked out of the class feeling happy and inspired after making new connections with myself and others. So inspired, I even added final touches and created new artwork from home! Thank you so much Rachel and I wish you good luck for your artistic journey!

Rachel is a lovely and gentle Facilitator who can see beyond what you are creating or encourage us to think deeper and share about our creation. Our session had a warm and friendly vibe, the space is very welcoming too. A perfect evening spent with my daughter.
