Collage Workshops at Miserden

Helen Norman is an exhibiting collage artist and teacher, formally an impressionistic oil painter.  Her collage workshops are suitable for everyone, from those with no experience of art through to those with some experience looking to explore.

Taking place in our beautiful vintage glasshouses Helen will start by explaining how to choose your subject matter, either from your own picture that you bring along or from her own collection.  She will then explain how to construct your collage and show you examples of her own work and also the thought process from the beginning of the piece right through to the final collage.

Guidance, where needed, will be given in the initial sketching up to the choice of colours and paper textures you will need for your collage.  At the end when your collage is finished Helen will suggest the suitable framing options that you could buy to enhance your finished collage.

These eco friendly workshops are always very relaxed and mindful in character!  You are very welcome to bring your own old magazines to use if you so wish.
