Take a found image and make it yours — with collage, mark-making and stitch.
About this Event

Every image has something more to say. In this workshop, you'll cut and arrange images pulled from magazines and printed pages into a collage. You’ll then add hand stitching and mark-making to take it further. There's no right way to do this. Just follow what catches your eye.

In this workshop you'll:

  • Cut and arrange found images into a collage
  • Use hand stitching to accent and embellish
  • Explore mark-making as a way to alter and respond
  • Leave with one or more finished pieces


No experience needed. Everything is provided. Beginner friendly for adults. Just wear something you don't mind getting paint on.


Cost: $8.50

Age: Adults 16+

Equipment: All materials and equipment will be provided.


About the Facilitator:

This workshop is facilitated by local artist Mary-Helen Daly. She is a qualified Transpersonal Art Therapist & Counsellor who helps people become their own creative doorway.
