Random Gluing Workshop (Blackberry Artist Workshop)
July 26, 2025
-
The Blackberry Gift Shop proposes ‘Random Gluing’, a fun and inclusive collage activity for Art Out Side. Open to all ages and skill levels, this hands-on experience invites the public to explore creativity through the playful and expressive art of collage. Participants will be guided through different collage styles at multiple themed stations, each offering a unique approach—such as mixed media, visual storytelling, or using unusual materials and surfaces. Visitors can experiment with layering, texture, and composition using a wide variety of supplied materials including paper, fabric, found objects, and more. Our team will provide demos, creative prompts, and encouragement, helping participants to engage at their own pace and comfort level. This drop-in format supports spontaneous creativity and offers a relaxed space for individuals and families alike to make, explore, and connect. All tools and materials will be provided. Participants are welcome to take home their creations or contribute to a collaborative community collage.
