World Collage Day

People of all ages and experience were invited to work with renowned artists Jean McEwan and Catherine Cartwright to create their own collages at this online event.

Taking place online, the prompt for the session was a series of archive images chosen by Ian Tothill from the Thornton Antiquarian Archive. 

We were joined by 21 people from as far as the USA and India. The session included breakout rooms where people could chat and make alongside each other and demonstrations from Catherine and Jean. 

I learned that an online workshop is effective, that Zoom allows for connected making, learned about new ways of collaging and different formats for making collage, learned more about South Square and Thornton archive, about other peoples' practice.

This was a valuable experience as I could engage in something from remotely. It was great to connect with different people, learn about other artistic practice and consider different processes and approaches. I have been creatively 'stuck' so this was a gentle way to get myself doing.
Workshop Participant
I really like the way the workshop was organised, - it was very well thought out. Particularly liked the opportunity to chat in break out rooms. Also liked that Ian and Alice were involved throughout, I sense this workshop was a great collaborative effort. Thank you
