The experience
Follow your eye.
Find your own language.
Found images, unexpected combinations, a colour that catches your attention. Collage begins with looking—and discovering what happens when familiar things meet in unfamiliar ways.
Led by Iris Jacobs, the workshop combines practical guidance with space to experiment. Work with image, texture, shape and rhythm, moving between abstraction and figurative storytelling.
You’ll create your own collage while developing a sharper sense of composition, association and intuition. No previous experience is needed.
What you’ll explore
A little structure.
Room for surprise.
Composition & rhythm
Explore scale, cropping, repetition and placement to create movement, balance and tension.
Abstraction & play
Move between recognisable forms and freer visual experiments. Let the materials surprise you.
Your visual voice
Develop a piece that feels personal, with choices guided by your own eye and intuition.
