Drawing With Scissors Workshop with Sophie Cooper

Unleash your inner artist and explore the use of painted paper to create collages! The workshop starts with an introduction to artists and illustrators who use this technique, and then you will create your own painted collage papers. You will then ‘draw with scissors’ exploring layering using painted textures and different colour palettes to create your own designs. You will be encouraged to experiment and explore your creativity throughout the workshop. You can follow templates or create your own designs - the choice is yours.
