SCISSOR SESSIONS Launch event

Collage Working Club will launch on Wednesday 2nd November at the newly inaugurated Largo Residências from 16 - 19h at QUARTEL Largo do Cabeço de Bola, 1150-081, Arroios.

The first 'scissor sessions' will be FREE, so please bring your scissors and glue and we can meet, make collage, talk a bit, and get to know each other. There will be some light refreshments to keep us going, and the LARGO cafe will be open. Please tell anyone you know who is interested in collage, to come along and learn more about CWC!

Collage explores new ways of re-imagining our surroundings and making strange what is familiar. As a ‘copy and paste’ medium it has never been more relevant in today’s image-saturated society. A springboard for many creative solutions, collage can be found as a tool for artists, graphic designers, architects, teachers, coaches and fashion designers, and it does not require elaborate materials to begin.

Collage Working Club (CWC) is a weekly open workspace for artists working in the medium of paper. Organised in the format of alternate ‘drop in’ sessions and workshops masterclasses, it will have both a regular facilitator whilst also involving the artist community in the sharing of knowledge and skills. Providing materials, education and connections is the primary aim of CWC, and it will do this through the interdisciplinary art of collage as both an art form and a tool for personal growth.

​The group is hosted by visual artist Nina Fraser, and will occupy a physical space at Largo Residencias, a cultural and social project in Arroios, Lisbon.
