In this second class of the 100 Days of Collage series, we’ll explore the art of transformation—taking ordinary, overlooked, or discarded objects and turning them into something new and meaningful. Found objects carry stories, textures, and histories that can breathe unexpected life into your collages.

Throughout these seven lessons, you’ll work with everything from buttons and fabric scraps to vintage photographs, keys, and natural materials. You’ll also experiment with creating your own papers by Gelli printing with found textures, layering words into poetry collages, and designing miniature collages that can become future focal points.

This class invites you to see the world differently—recognising creative possibilities in the everyday, honouring forgotten items, and reimagining their place within your art. By the end of the week, you’ll have a collection of collages that combine storytelling with tactile discovery, reminding you that inspiration is everywhere, waiting to be found.

All levels are welcome, and there’s no need to buy extra supplies—this week is about gathering from what you already have. Open your eyes to hidden treasures, play with unexpected textures, and enjoy the process of giving new life to old things.
