About the event
Explore collage, storytelling and creativity in this hands-on workshop for all ages. Using a range of pre-cut shapes and recycled papers, participants will create their own collage inspired by maps, places and journeys. You can build abstract designs, imaginative landscapes or personal “maps” filled with colour and texture.
There’s also the option to experiment with folding your work into a simple map-style format, adding a playful connection to travel and geography.
This relaxed drop-in session is designed for families and participants of all ages, encouraging creativity, exploration and making together in a welcoming environment.
