Have you ever wanted to try your hand at collage, but didn't know where to start? Join Teesside artist, Jessica, for the perfect taster workshop to introduce you to a world of coastal collage.

In the session you will tear, cut, layer and arrange materials until a picture builds up. No drawing skills needed, and no right way to do things, collage is all about trying things out.

You’ll make your collage from Jessica’s stash of things that we should find on the shore - seaweed, feathers, and dried grasses. We’ll also add in some paper in the colours of the coast through the seasons.

You'll leave with a finished collage and a way of working that you can carry on with, using whatever you can pick up on a walk.

If you have any questions regarding access requirements for this session please contact us via info@rockpools.org or call 01429 858351
