SCISSOR SESSIONS collage drop in

SCISSOR SESSIONS is a casual drop-in for artists working with paper and collage. Meet and chat with other artists, make some collage with our materials or bring your own project to share for feedback.

This session contains a bonus treat - at 5pm we will launch the first of our two at business development webinars 'Studio to Success: Organising the Business Side of your Art Career' in partnership with Artwork Archive. We will join together from our usual meeting space in Jardims do Bombarda so bring a notebook. (Please note that this will cut short our usual collage meeting by 1 hour.)

----------

A colagem explora novas formas de reimaginar o que nos rodeia e de tornar estranho o que nos é familiar. Como meio de "copiar e colar", nunca foi tão relevante como na atual sociedade saturada de imagens. Um catalisador para muitas soluções criativas, a colagem pode ser encontrada como uma ferramenta para artistas, designers gráficos, arquitetos, professores e designers de moda, e não requer materiais elaborados para começar.

O Collage Working Club (CWC) é um espaço de trabalho semanal aberto a artistas que trabalham com o suporte papel. Organizado no formato de sessões alternadas e masterclasses, tem um facilitador regular, ao mesmo tempo que envolve a comunidade de artistas na partilha de conhecimentos e competências. Fornecer materiais, educação e ligações é o principal objetivo do CWC, e fá-lo-á através da interdisciplinaridade da colagem como uma forma de arte e uma ferramenta para o crescimento pessoal.

O grupo ocupa um espaço físico no Largo Residências, um projeto cultural e social nos Jardins do Bombarda, em Lisboa.
