World Collage Day
Creative Circle Theme: Collage Party!
Saturday, May 9th, 2026
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
3 hours of crafting & connecting!
$39 Standard Ticket
$49 Generous Ticket
May 10th is a global day for all things cut & paste paper!
Gather your stash of prints, precious papers, envelopes, book pages, tissue/gel prints, and all things collage fodder for a day of play to create a chubby whimsical artist book.
LOTS of freebie stash from my studio included for the day.
We'll intentionally, intuitively and playfully create a limited-edition artist book, organizing ephemera, cutting/pasting with personalized embellishments. Each person creating from stash & supplies - each book different and unique! You choose your own style, function and form and enjoy lots of freebies from Studio #118.
We will be using our dry art paper stash and making covers and fabric spines from sturdy materials. Embellishing w/ crayons, markers, pencils, smudging & stamping w/ inks. Feel free to bring wet supplies to add/drying for your own collage experience.
If you can cut - you can collage!
If you are a mixed media maker - you likely already have everything you need for a collage book.
Beginners-Intermediate-Advanced makers welcome!
