Add a personal touch to your festive greetings with your own handmade, eco-friendly collaged cards from repurposed materials in our Collage Greeting Card Workshop.

Using an array of collage materials, from recycled magazines and photographs to patterned papers and fabrics, you’ll learn how to design and assemble your own original cards inspired by the season.

Local artist Lucy McBrayne will guide you through playful cutting, layering, and composition techniques, helping you create colourful, one-of-a-kind pieces that capture the spirit of the holidays.

Whether you’re an experienced maker or completely new to collage, this relaxed session offers the perfect opportunity to unwind and experiment with art and collage.

You’ll leave the session with your own set of unique festive cards and plenty of inspiration to continue creating at home.

Basic materials provided, but feel free to bring your own. No experience necessary, just enthusiasm! For ages 16+.

This Collage Greeting Card Workshop is held as part of our Holiday Season Experiences!
