About the course
Creative Collage invites learners to transform discarded magazines, leaflets, and junk mail into expressive artworks exploring the theme of endangerment.

Suitable for beginners, it offers a calming, reflective space where art becomes a tool for wellbeing, awareness, and imaginative storytelling.
