Paper Slashing Collage Workshop
Tuesday, June 30 | 6-8 PM
Age: 14 & up (minors must be accompanied by an adult)
Cost: $30 per person / $20 for Wilson Arts 2026 members
Travel back to the late 15th century, when the practical mending technique used by Swiss soldiers started a fashion trend so unusual and bold that it swept through Europe’s aristocracy like wildfire.
In this workshop, we’ll breathe new life into that centuries-old style, reimagining it through paper collage instead of fabric. You’ll layer richly colored and patterned papers, then use a technique called “slashing” to reveal bursts of hidden color, creating vibrant, one-of-a-kind pieces by taking away rather than by adding.
Along the way, you’ll dive into color theory, play with texture, and explore movement in three dimensions to revive this rich Renaissance decadence. The result will be your own richly textured artwork that carries a blend of resilience, artistry, and a touch of flamboyance.
All materials provided. Ages 14+ welcome, but minors must have adult accompaniment.
