Discover how much fun you can have with scraps! In this playful, hands-on workshop, youโll create a small three- or four-element collage using a mix of colorful papers, images, textures, ephemera, and recycled materials. Youโll work in either a 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 format, creating a finished piece that can go directly into a frame. No art experience is needed. Youโll experiment with composition, layering, contrast, and unexpected combinations as you move pieces around and discover what works together. The small format keeps the process approachable and gives you plenty of freedom to play. Leave with an original framed collage that makes a wonderful gift or a unique piece of art to display in your own home. All materials, including the frames, are provided. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment!
This class is appropriate for ages 16+.
This class will take place at Arc + Flame Center, located at 125 Fedex Way, Rochester, NY 14624.

Ruth Sternberg is a collage artist, writer, career coach, and lifelong collector of interesting scraps, images, words, and ideas. She has taught collage to children and grown-ups. She loves the medium because you donโt have to know exactly what youโre making when you start. You can play, experiment, rearrange, and see what emerges. Her approach is low-pressure, curiosity-driven, and welcoming to people who donโt consider themselves โartists.โ Ruth believes creativity gets a lot more interesting when we stop worrying about doing it right. She and her husband moved to the Rochester area from Columbus, Ohio, in 2020, and they live in North Greece with their two black cats.
