You will need . . .

A collection of interesting and colourful pieces of patterned paper, fabric, text, pictures, old maps, magazine, newspaper, or book pages, tissue paper, interesting typography, sheet music, paper napkins or anything else that is light enough to be glued down on paper or cardboard.

The more variety the better. Gather a minimum of twenty pieces that catch your eye and which will fit into an A4 envelope.

Bring your collection along to the workshop. Be prepared to give your collection away to someone else! Be prepared to be surprised and inspired by someone else's collection!

It’s collaborative collage making, so bartering is encouraged on the day.
