Mapping the Soul: Collage, Poetry, and Creativity

 This workshop has been CANCELLED

“Beneath the facade of daily life, just on the other side of our skin, a wellspring of creativity waits to be tapped,” writes the leader. “We’ll immerse ourselves in that mysterious sea of imagination, finding images and words to map our souls. The exhilarating and democratic art form of collage unites pictures from various sources to make something new, a visual mirror to tell the stories of our lives. Who gave the small child wings, and where might she fly?

“In this workshop for non-artists and artists alike, discover ways that creative expression can enhance your thinking and your resilient nature. Create with abandon in an environment free of doubt and criticism. Collage and poetry allow us to say what we didn't know we could, answer old questions, ask new ones, and unleash the imagination!

“Participants will create several collages and poems and work both figuratively and abstractly, small and large. Bring a pair of scissors, a journal, copies of old photos, receipts, birth certificates, small objects, whatever catches your eye.”

($70 materials fee paid directly to leader)
