Join our HushFest Collage Workshop
Join us for a calming afternoon of creative collaging at St Cubert's Church on Friday 10th July from 1pm - 3pm.
As part of the HushFest exhibition, this drop-in session is an opportunity to explore your creativity in a calm and gentle way that feels authentic to your true quiet self. It's a safe, welcoming space to connect, create, and simply enjoy the process alongside a community of quieteers who truly get you.
If you would like, you are invited to leave your finished collage with us to be included in our community gallery, or you can take your artwork home with you.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
What to expect
What’s the workshop going to be like?
Come and experiment with collage as a gentle way to explore quiet in nature, creativity, self, and relationships. You don't need any prior experience or particular art skills to join in. Angela will be on hand to provide gentle guidance, showing you simple techniques for using shapes, textures, and layers of paper to bring your ideas to life.
There is absolutely no pressure to create a 'masterpiece' or rush your work; our main hope is that you simply enjoy the tactile process of cutting, tearing, and pasting at a pace you are comfortable with.
What’s the space going to be like?
We've designed our space to be calm, flexible, and comfortable. In our community, we recognise that silence is a natural strength, and both quietude and gentle chatter are welcomed.
You are invited to bring your authentic self - whether you'd like to chat or create in total silence, your quiet presence is deeply valued. Our main hope is simply that you leave feeling comfortable, included, and proud of whatever you create.
Do you need to bring anything?
All the creative resources and materials you need will be laid out and ready for you, alongside examples to use if you find them helpful.
If you have any of your own materials you would like to incorporate - such as favourite coloured pens, specific magazine cuttings, or textured papers - please feel free to bring them along. Otherwise, just bring yourself!
