Creative Aging: Let's Collage It with Dave

A Visible Poem - Collage Workshop: This poetry in visual forms workshop approaches language as a tangible entity and the image as literal and figurative word. We will explore the intersection of the drawn, written, & spoken line, considering public space, placement, and design. 

For the workshop we suggest you might like to gather recycled materials like newspapers, magazines with both text and images. They can be in color or black/white and in any language. Any construction paper in any color, cardboard, glue, and scissors. Also if you can bring photos, travel notes and travel logs, maps, and mementos with text like from weddings, graduations, honorings, home goings, ceremonies, tributes, letters and antique postcards, stamps, etc. Since we are working online you can also gather these same kinds of materials in digital formats if you would like to work on projects employing your computer and internet. Or bring materials in both physical and digital forms and this would give options to do both physical and digital in the work.

Registration Required. Zoom link will be sent by 10am the morning of the program.
