Join award-winning writer and visual artist Emma Rogerson at Stowmarket Library and create your own collage using recycled materials! This is part of The Blank Page Project which offers high-quality creative workshops for 10-16 year olds during the school holidays.

This workshop will explore the different methods of collaging as a medium, what it is and what it can do, before engaging in a short creative writing task about your thoughts on collage. Participants will then be invited to make their own collages using upcycled materials such as newspapers, magazines and brochures. Then swap your creative collage with another participant and write a creative response to a new collage creation! You can choose poetry, prose, diary-writing – any form of writing you enjoy most.

This also explores and encourages the idea of recycling and reusing as a creative technique in a way that is refreshing and accessible.
