The word Collage derives from the French ‘to glue’ and has an ancient history dating back to the invention of paper in China in about 200 BC. Look around and you will see Collage everywhere and so perhaps it is a way of responding to, and trying to make sense of, a very fractured and disconnected world. In book arts we can use collage to unite disparate elements to create something new and whole in it’s own terms, in either very controlled or in free-flowing organic ways. Over two days we will try many different collage techniques relating to words, images, magazines, pictures, books, cutting, pasting, stitching, splicing and creating.

This practical course will give participants the time and space needed to make collages and collaged books that they may not have otherwise produced. Some projects may involve group collaborations. Some projects can be one-off pieces, others could be small editions.
