Communal Collage Workshop

The Communal Collage involves painting and drawing in groups to create imagery based on a chosen theme. The paintings will be made using safe paint and Georgia can draw templates for individuals with less capacity.

Once everyone has made their images, they will be cut out.

Next, there will be an exciting performance lead by Georgia and the group, where all the images created will be collaboratively arranged to form a Communal Collage.

The finished artwork will be framed for your group/institution to commemorate and represent the creative journey of the whole community.

All materials and framing will be included, please call: +44 7503860906 or
