Looking for a fun, inspiring night out? Join our Collage Club for Adults—a relaxed, social evening dedicated to art-making in a welcoming environment. No artistic experience required; just bring your imagination! This month’s theme is WILD, inspired by works in the Ongoing / Pacific Crossings exhibition. Explore ideas of wilderness, wildlife, and the connections between humans, nature, and objects. What does “wild” mean to you? It could be found in nature, people, behaviour, places, or imagination. Experiment with natural materials such as pressed flowers, moss, stones, and handmade papers. Try frottage (texture rubbing) techniques and mix these materials with images and papers to create your own unique collage.
