COLLAGE CREATIONS
Explore a range of creative collage techniques
A 4 part self-paced course that will teach you how to create fabulous mixed media collages
ABOUT THIS COURSE
This course will enable you to use your prints and work on paper to create fabulous mixed media collages. Giving you an opportunity to develop your work, explore the range of substrates available, how to finish and frame your creations.
It’s aimed at those who have already create their own collage papers, or who have taken my Monotype: Materials & Methods course and would like to know the best ways to use them.
On this course I will share my knowledge and expertise for combining monotypes, found papers and textural media into unique and meaningful collage creations. Throughout the course I include useful tips for creating balanced compositions. You can also join a lively forum to share your work with other students and ask me questions.
When I launched this in May 2023 it was a two part course, but each part was over 7 hours long! I have since remastered it and it is now a four part course. This means you can slide into whatever section you feel most suits your needs.
Sections 1 and 2 provide all you need to create exciting collages, and Sections 3 and 4 will take your work from the sketchbook to the wall! You can enrol on section individually (scroll down for more info) or buy all together with a 10% discount.

Course FAQs
WHEN DOES THIS COURSE START?
This is a self paced course. On enrollment, you will be provided with access to all content immediately, and you can work through the classes at your own pace.
IS THERE TUTOR INTERACTION?
The course content is very comprehensive so you shouldn’t need any help but you can always email me at sally@sallyhirst.co.uk if you have a question.
CAN I PAY IN ANY CURRENCY?
Of course! The payment is set in GDP as I am in the UK but when you pay it will convert to your own currency.
Payments are made via Stripe, a safe and secure payment platform, using a debit or credit card.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE COURSE
You will be asked to register on the teaching platform Ruzuku, that is where the course lives.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
I cover a lot of ground and each course is 3 hours of video content to watch plus working time. But it is broken down into bit-size chunks, perfect for busy lives. The classes also come with lifetime access.
WHAT IS THE FORMAT?
The classes in this course are delivered in video format via the online platform Ruzuku. There is also additional written content in the form of downloadable PDFs.
WHAT INTERNET CONNECTION WILL I NEED?
To get the most out of the class you need to have a high speed internet connection and newer computer or mobile device that is equipped to stream video off of the internet.
WHAT LEVEL ARE THE CLASSES?
The first part is suitable for complete beginners, the subsequent two courses are intermediate level. The course is suitable for anyone who has an interest in creating, beginners and more advanced artists alike.
DO I NEED ALL OF THE SUPPLIES?
No, I encourage you to work with what you have and adapt the classes to suit your needs. I am all for mixing things up and experimenting with materials! There is a supplies list for each course.
IS THERE AN ONLINE COMMUNITY?
Yes, all class participants have the option of joining my Printmakers Forum which is on the Ruzuku site. There you can share your work if you wish to do so and see the work by other students. The Forum is divided into sections for each of my printmaking courses so you can take a look and see what else is going on! There is no tutor interaction on self-paced courses, but I pop in approx once per week. You will also receive support from your fellow artists.
DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?
I do not offer refunds for self-paced courses as the course descriptions give a very full account of the content, but in the unlikely event you have booked a course that is not right for you let me know BEFORE you start accessing the content, please email to discuss at sally@sallyhirst.co.uk.
