Collage as Divination with Alexandra Neuman

Event discription: This creative workshop explores the collage process as a pathway into collective consciousness. Closely linked to the automatic creativity involved in dreaming, collage bypasses creative blockages and any need to have a preconceived idea before starting an artwork, offering instead a playful and spontaneous flow state for art making. The openness of the collage space serves as a tool for idea generation, self inquiry, and connection to spirit. The workshop includes a short introduction to the medium, some best practices for getting into the creative flow, and a hands-on collage-making session. No prior experience is required. Participants will supply their own glue, scissors, and magazines.
