Instructor: Rachel Tallant
Members: $100

Participants will create mixed – media collage using found vintage materials exploring composition, color, and texture to express a theme such as memory, identity, or transformation. This 2.5 hour workshop emphasizes creative exploration, storytelling, and hands – on process over perfection.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand collage composition (balance, layering, focal point).
  • Learn techniques for integrating imagery, texture, and text.
  • Explore how personal meaning can be expressed through found materials.
  • Create an original collage that reflects a personal theme or memory.

Teaching Approach

My approach is exploratory, and accessible—welcoming participants of all skill levels. I emphasize discovery and storytelling through materials, encouraging intuition and imperfection over precision. The workshop fosters community through shared creativity and personal expression.
