Collage Working Club<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Lisboa, Portugal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HISTORY <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Collage Working Club (CWC) is a weekly open workspace for artists working in the medium of paper. Organized in the format of alternate \u2018drop in\u2019 sessions and workshop masterclasses, it has both a regular facilitator, whilst also involving the artist community in the sharing of knowledge and skills. Providing materials, education and connections is the primary aim of CWC, and it will do this through the interdisciplinary art of collage as both an art form and a tool for personal growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MISSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Collage explores new ways of re-imagining our surroundings and making strange what is familiar. As a \u2018copy and paste\u2019 medium it has never been more relevant in today\u2019s image-saturated society. A springboard for many creative solutions, collage can be found as a tool for artists, graphic designers, architects, teachers, coaches and fashion designers, and it does not require elaborate materials to begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
