Inspired by my reading of Fragmentary Forms: A New History of Collage, I’ve been reflecting on the roots of this beloved medium and how it helps me make sense of these chaotic times. The book prompted an idea for a workshop that I’m excited to trial during a short trip to Paris this March.

A year and a half ago, I had the joy of offering a workshop in Paris to two wonderful participants. Both are joining again, and I’m thrilled to invite two more intrepid explorers to join us. Reading the book isn’t required but you’ll need to bring your own materials.

Materials:
I provide:

substrates for collage

matte medium

glue sticks

brushes for collage

paper towels

wipes

Student Supply List:

Papers for printing: for example: printer paper, rice paper, tissue paper, text from old books (found in kiosks in Paris parks)

Acrylic paints: black, white, red, yellow and blue. If you are familiar with acrylics I’ve listed some colors here, however it’s not necessary to have these exact shades. Carbon Black, Titanium White, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium and Cobalt Blue or Phthalo Blue

Scissors

Gel plate

Brayer or or large top from jar

Apron or clothes you don’t mind getting paint on
