🪩 Drop-In Style. Come by anytime during public hours!

Dive into the colorful, layered world of collage through this playful drop-in making experience centered around storytelling, experimentation, and visual exploration. Participants are invited to cut, arrange, layer, and piece together imagery using magazines, found paper, textures, and unexpected materials to create compositions that feel personal, expressive, surreal, or entirely abstract.

Whether you’re building tiny dream worlds, visual poems, commuter-inspired scenes, memory maps, or bold graphic compositions, this activation celebrates the beauty of remixing everyday materials into something entirely new.

Collage-making at The Shiny Shop encourages intuition, curiosity, and joyful imperfection, allowing participants to follow color, shape, texture, and imagery wherever inspiration leads.

✨ Materials include:

• Magazines & found imagery

• Colorful paper scraps & textures

• Scissors & cutting tools

• Glue sticks & Mod Podge

• Paper, boards & collage bases

Perfect for all ages and artistic comfort levels. Stay for a few quick cuts and layers or settle in to build a richly detailed visual world of your own.
