But in Waverley, collage has also become about sticking people together&#8211;a medium which builds community. Now in its 5th year, the Waverley Community Collage makers are a group of local artists, meeting weekly to explore the infinite possibilities of contemporary collage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibition showcases the work of the group from the last two years while celebrating the joy, dedication and solidarity of the Waverley Community Collage artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waverley Community Collage holds weekly collage classes at the library. The next class is Thursday, 20 July 2023 at 2PM.
