Someone arranging a collage.

Discover the Moving Image Archive through collage!

In this collage workshop with Concrete Nature, you will create your own compositions using colourful paper stocks, cut outs, and a variety of still images from our collection to bring your pieces to life!

You will be guided through various creative prompts to kick-start your process and will learn collage and composition techniques. At the end of the workshop you will leave with your new artworks.

We'll also have some of our films on show for further inspiration!

This workshop is suitable for adults of all levels keen to explore collage in a relaxing and welcoming environment. No previous experience and skills are necessary.

All materials and tea and coffee will be provided.
