In this workshop, artist and instructor Mimi Shapiro encourages you to focus on your interests through collage. Cutting images from various sources and rearranging them to resemble those ideas that you see in your imagination. Using a zine or an existing book as the core surface, the book’s structure will hold your collaged images.
Mimi deeply believes in the many possibilities with collage, “It’s the physical nature of this medium. Best of all, your individual sensibilities are there to guide you.” A few possible topics of exploration could be working with patterns and textures, incorporating typography or poetry, and playing with color.
Participants are asked to bring a found book- any size or subject matter, to use as their collage surface, think of it like a “sketchbook”. Collage material from magazines will be available, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have a favorite subject matter. Glue and scissors will be provided for use during the workshop.
Space is limited, pre-registration is required. Please note curio. is located down a flight of stairs.
