collage club at work
* There is no right or wrong way to create a collage.
* One can use any of the materials provided and/or bring whatever they’d like to use.
* There are no assessments. Sharing, comparing, talking about yours and each other’s work is encouraged.
Collage Club is a community of people of diverse ages, ethnicities, and those with and without previous experience with collage making.
Sitting at tables, facing one another, with a multitude of craft-making materials in the middle. Everyone seems to dive into their own creations immediately while sharing their work, asking one another for help and opinions. At the end of each class, those who are willing show the rest of the group what emerged, completed or not during our two hours together.
We are talkative, effusive, and mostly unreserved, leaving space, while creating space for those who prefer to work individually.
Using a wide variety of materials and mixed media, designs, parts of formations and reimagined images begin to emerge as unique as the people who created them.
Without exception, every class has been filled with conversation, creativity, laughter and…of course, food!
Please join us!
Cost is $10.00 per class, walk-ins welcome.

Following a rich 40 + years of teaching and mentoring students and teachers in Philadelphia, I returned to my life-long passion of art. My art is dominated by a deeply rooted fascination with form, light and color. As an inherent scavenger, bits of paper, small objects of unique textures, colors, shapes, and subject matter become the materials for my work; a design on a box of tissues, a piece of wrapping paper, cloth, images in magazines, candy wrappers (my favorite being those enfolded in foil.) Hundreds of found oddments are housed in one of about 15 drawers, each devoted to a color, shape, texture, and theme. I begin to put said findings into configurations marrying light, color, and balance in ways that will narrate a story.
Having been raised in a family where the fight for social justice, equality, and admiration for all cultures, ethnicities, and partnerships, was imperative, many of my pieces include combinations of women representing strength, historical importance, and beauty.
And Collage Collections was born.
