Camp Collage:

Camp Collage is a temporary creative campfire—no cabins, no rules, just paper, images, and instinct. This workshop invites you to scavenge, slice, layer, and rearrange fragments into something unexpected. We’ll work quickly and intuitively, letting chance, repetition, and impulse lead the way. Images are cut, disrupted, misused, and reimagined; meaning is discovered after the fact. Prompts act as sparks rather than instructions, encouraging play, risk, and permission to not know what you’re making yet. This is a space for experimentation over polish, curiosity over outcome. Whether you arrive with an art practice or none at all, Camp Collage is about getting lost in the process, trusting your hands, and leaving with work that feels surprising, personal, and alive.

Optional: Students are asked to bring ephemera, such as vintage photos or postcards, stamps, old yearbooks (great if you need to cut out heads of people or people doing things), patterned paper, washi tape, etc.
