A collection means just that, a collection of things that have a theme or type in common e.g. teapots, fruits, art materials, make up... the possibilities are endless.

This class will take you through the process of creating a collection using paper cut collage from the initial drawings to the final creation. You will be encouraged to come up with your own idea for a collection by following your interests and to develop your own colour scheme for the collection.

This class is suitable for all levels, the processes are very simple and collage is a very accessible medium, you don't have to be able to draw well!

Some Photoshop experience would be useful if you want to digitise and edit your collage collection once you have created it.

This is a course primarily about paper cut collage but you will also learn about using mixed media, mark-making and painting techniques to create beautiful textured papers. Creating papers is all about experimenting with materials and you will see some examples of how to create textures and marks.

Collections are good things to have in your portfolio, they suit greeting card designs, surface pattern design, spot illustrations, logo, screensavers…. you name it!

You need very simple materials for this class, especially if you are only working in analogue. You will need some type of paint, drawings materials of your choice, scissors, glue and tracing paper. Any art materials can be used to create your papers, but you will be encouraged to mix media and experiment with a range of materials from felt tips to watercolour!

If you choose to digitise your collection in the final session you will need Photoshop and a basic working knowledge of the selection tools and layering.
