Therapeutic Art Workshop: Collaging to Process Grief

Grief is a complex and multifaceted experience which includes a wide range of emotions. The collage process provides us with an intuitive way to explore this complexity and nuance as we sort through images and words, choosing those that are most resonant to us and creating narratives from assembling the disparate pieces together. In this therapeutic art workshop, we’ll discuss different forms of grief and how artists have used collage in their art about loss. Next participants will be provided a range of art materials and guided in creating a collage to help them explore their grief journey. We’ll conclude the workshop by sharing our art and reflections.

Participants will be provided with magazines and other assorted collage materials and can also opt to bring photos or photocopies of photos, special papers, and other ephemera. No artistic experience necessary/all skill levels are welcome.

This workshop will be facilitated by artist, board-certified art therapist, and licensed mental health counselor Dr. Lauren Leone, who works with art therapy participants in clinical and community-based settings in Massachusetts.
