This year I’m celebrating 2025 World Collage Day with two small offerings—each one an invitation into the reflective, connective space that collage opens up for me. Both are shaped around the idea that looking and making can be quiet acts of reflection, and that these kinds of acts can connect us—with ourselves, each other, and the artwork we encounter.

More info on the workshops are below. Due to limited space I am only able to make room for 10 people per session, so book in quick to save your spot.

Beyond a Glance: Finding Meaning Through Quiet Contemplation

This is a slow-looking session held in a gallery space. It’s an invitation to linger. Through prompts and quiet observation, we’ll give ourselves time to really see, feel, and respond to a work of art—tuning in to the details, the emotions, the questions that emerge when we’re still for long enough.

Sat 10 May | 9am - 11am | The Churn Room, Dayboro

Paper and Presence: Contemplative Making

It’s all about the meditative rhythm of collage—cutting, arranging, listening, responding. In a materials-led process, we let the textures, colours, and images guide us. We’ll be letting go of fixed outcomes and instead will make collages, slowly and thoughtfully in a process that allows us to be fully present while working with our hands.
