Collage Cafe

Led by Holly and Kaia, each session will bring new themes, reimaginings and questions to explore via cutting, ripping and sticking.

Local curatorial collective, the Lazy Susans, invite you to their monthly Collage Cafe. Led by Holly and Kaia, each session will bring new themes, reimaginings and questions to explore via cutting, ripping and sticking. No prior art experience needed! 

Using second-hand magazines collected from local charity shops, hairdressers, hotel guests and neighbours, the session breathes new life into those glossy pages - not hiding the snips, transformations and selections from the Collage Cafe before. Collage has a rich history infused with activism, experimentation and art therapy and has been intrinsic to Holly and Kaia's curatorial and artistic practice, so they can provide assistance if you get stuck (pun intended). Holly has also been working on a collage series for the newly opened Ember Locke in Kensington, so make sure to pop in and have a look at the work made especially for their swanky stage area.

Each session begins with a collaborative exercise to get those creative hands and minds warmed up, before entering the hour-long collaging free flow. Experimentation, playing and sharing is encouraged. Materials, scissors and glue are all provided, but feel free to bring along your own mags if you like! The bar will be open, so why not treat yourself to a KRAFT beer or a Jim & Tonic.
