Beautiful Scraps: A Collage Workshop with Clare Winslow

Collage is one of the most freewheeling and immediately satisfying art forms — all you need is paper, scissors, and a willingness to see what happens when things come together in unexpected ways.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore collage as a serious artistic medium, building layered compositions from found and personal materials. You’ll leave with one or more finished pieces and a set of techniques you can keep exploring on your own.

Come with whatever inspires you — vintage maps, sheet music, decorative papers, magazine clippings, old drawings, unfinished artwork, wrapping paper, book pages. The more varied your materials, the more surprising your results. Not sure what to bring? Don’t worry — a generous selection of papers, maps, and printed materials will be provided.

We’ll work on prepared surfaces and use acrylic medium for adhesion, with additional textures and embellishments available to add depth and dimension to your work.
