Workshop led by collage artist Katrin Anikina @worlds.compiler

What happens to decorative objects when we stop loving them? We put them away, forget about them or send them off to a flea market. But maybe they simply need a new story.

On the workshop, we’ll reimagine tired and forgotten decorative objects and turn them into something new for your home.
It’s also a chance to refresh your home for the season — create something that fits your autumn colour palette, or make a unique piece to bring a little handmade magic to your Christmas decor.

Bring a plate, vase or flower pot that has lost its place in your interior, find something interesting at a flea market — or choose one of the objects we’ll have ready for you.
Using cut-outs from old magazines and books, we won’t simply decorate the surface. We’ll work with the object’s shape, patterns, character and traces of time. We’ll shift its meaning, combine unexpected images, continue existing lines and turn imperfections into part of a new story.
No artistic experience is needed. You don’t have to know how to draw or paint — all you need is a little imagination and the willingness to see things differently.

During the workshop, we will:

*explore the object and develop a concept;

• create a collage;
  *finish it with a protective layer of varnish or UV resin.

What can you bring? (If you want)
You can bring your own object that you’d like to give a second life to, for example:

• a decorative plate;
  *a vase;
• a flower pot.

Important:

*the surface should be flat, smooth, clean and dry;

• please don’t bring objects that are too small — we’ll need enough space to work with the collage.

Don’t have your own object? No problem! We’ll prepare a small collection of interesting vintage and second-hand finds for you to choose from at the workshop.
