A one-day art workshop with Emma Lindsay, where you will learn how to create your own handmade collage papers and then use them to create a mixed media, abstract landscape.

The papers will be created using a variety of techniques and materials such as stencils, stamps, rice paper, metallic leaf, rollers, sprays, inks, paint and pens.

We will use a variety of reference material from both artists’ work and photographs as our inspiration. We will explore composition, colour and shapes and combine our collage papers with a variety of mixed media to produce an abstract landscape on artboard (approx. 40cm x 30cm).

What to bring

All materials are provided, just bring an apron/old shirt.

Please note WiFi is available, so you are welcome to bring a mobile/iPhone or tablet/iPad, if you have one, to look at examples of artists’ work.
