Have you ever wanted to try your hand at collage, but didn't know where to start? This taster workshop is the intro you need.

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at collage, but didn't know where to start? Join Teesside artist, Jessica, for the perfect taster workshop to introduce you to a world of urban collage.

In the session you will tear, cut, layer and arrange materials until a picture builds up. No drawing skills needed, and no right way to do things, collage is all about trying things out.

Hartlepool is full of colour - if you look for it. Bus tickets, shop flyers, packaging and signs, all the bright printed things we throw away without thinking.

Bring anything colourful you'd normally put in the bin or use Jessica’s own stash of colourful bits and bobs. You will cut and layer that material into a picture of the town as you see it, with bold colour and shapes.

You'll leave with a finished collage and a way of working that you can carry on with, using whatever you can pick up on a walk.
