Collage and the Surreal

A collage workshop with Naomi Hart Johnson in partnership with Eastern Sierra Pride

Wednesday August 30th, 2023 - 5.30pm - 7pm

Collage is a technique of producing art where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms or images, creating a new whole. Collage by its very nature involves selecting images and ideas from the abundance of images and experiences that surround and envelop us and constructing a narrative or response to those ideas.

A collage can include magazine or newspaper clippings, textiles, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to paper or canvas.

This is an opportunity to play with images, text and ideas to create artwork that creates connections between disparate images and ideas to create a surreal image, express a feeling, tell a story - whatever you want!  We will explore some examples of collage work done by masters of the technique to inspire you and then you will be invited to experiment and create using your own ideas. A range of images from a wide range of sources will be provided but you are encouraged to bring your own drawings, photographs or found imagery to use in your personal creations if you wish!

This workshop is a partnership between C5 Studios and Eastern Sierra Pride and is FREE to attend. Please note: This is an affinity space that is 100% queer and trans-inclusive.

Registration in advance is highly recommended! To register please email us at contact@c5studios.org.
