A team day that's a little different.
Collage is relaxed, hands-on and surprisingly absorbing. Everyone cuts, arranges and glues their own artwork from a library of more than 200 books and vintage magazines, with an artist guiding the room. No experience or creative ideas needed.
Done the paint and sip already? Plenty of teams come to us looking for something new.

Who runs it
Run by practising artists.
The Sydney Collage Society is a community of artists who work with collage, founded in 2015 by artist Kubi Vasak. Our artists exhibit their work, take on design commissions, and run workshops for galleries, councils, schools and teams.
Your workshop is led by an experienced collage artist who shows you the techniques, helps everyone along and brings the whole library of materials.
Our workshop fees follow the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) Code of Practice, so the artists who teach are paid fairly.
