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."
