Exploring Collage
Q & A Session
“Sometimes when I use collage, it feels too crafty or scrapbook. What tips do you have for using collage in fine art?”
Such a good question.
I’ve got five practical tips and a bunch of examples to share with you.
If you have struggled with finding a collage style that fits your vision, this session will be invaluable.
It’s a cosy vlog this month. I have new stationary products coming out, paintings that I am getting ready for sale, a client project to work on, and most importantly, collage papers to collect!
This is your opportunity to come behind the scenes, plus you will get plenty of ideas for your collage materials.
There’s something so satisfying about gluing down a piece of collage paper without any bubbles! Don’t you agree?
In my quest for bubble-free collages, I have tried quite a few different glues over the years. In this video, I share my experience and take you through my favourite products and techniques.
Collage is a joy to create and a delight to view!
So many hidden treasures.
In the main lesson and bonus, we’ll explore different ways to use this medium, including techniques for combining collage with paint and pen.
You will see me create a piece from to finish on a wood panel. Plus, there’s also a sketchbook demonstration.

Meet Laura, your teacher
Hello, I’m Laura
I’m a mixed media artist from Adelaide, South Australia. Ten years ago, I picked up a paintbrush. I had two young children, and like many mothers, I felt a little lost among all the nappies.
As soon as I reconnected with my creativity, I felt a spark. I quickly fell in love with all things art. The yummy supplies, the supportive community, and the sense of purpose and satisfaction that came from doing something I truly loved.
I followed my passion and built a beautiful, messy life around it. Things rarely went to plan, but I amazed myself with the things that I could do. From selling my work at markets and cafes to running a retreat in Bali, right through to hosting a top-rated art podcast.
Tapping into my creativity gave me clarity and confidence, and it can do this for you too.
