Collage Workshop with James Gallagher

Course Description

Whether you are an experienced artist or an absolute beginner, James Gallagher’s collage workshops are sure to inspire you and expand your understanding of this timeless medium. Each session begins with a brief history of collage—showcasing pivotal works from the early Cubist movement to today's contemporary resurgence - designed to ignite your creativity. Following a dynamic warm-up exercise, you will create your own artwork in a fun and relaxed setting. Throughout the session, Gallagher provides tailored feedback, practical examples, and individual encouragement. Rather than just teaching technique, his ultimate goal is to challenge you to think differently about the medium, to let your guard down, and experiment. The workshop concludes with a group showcase, celebrating the diverse styles and surprising results that make collage such a powerful medium. James Gallagher has hosted collage workshops at The Morgan Library, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, High School for Fashion Industries, Artists and Fleas, Happy Medium, Artist & Craftsman, The Painting School, and The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
