Study Day/Workshop Collage Book College

The word "collage" derives from the French 'to glue' and has an ancient history dating back to the invention of paper in China in about 200 BC. This practical course will give participants the time and space needed to make collages and collaged books that they may not have otherwise produced.

About

This course is ideally suited to Book Arts practitioners, students, professional artists, amateur artists, and book-makers, seeking to learn completely new skills, or to brush up/develop existing ones and to then proceed to working on their own projects once the course has finished.
