Welcome and Introduction
I'm here to help you all the way through the course. You can ask me questions through the course portal and I aim to reply within 24 - 48 hrs.
Materials needed for collage are discussed in detail within the course but you mainly need some plain white paper and PVA glue. The tools required are available to preview but are all generally available and several are basic household items.
Yes! The course will guide you through every step of the process. All the techniques are demonstrated in detail and are suitable even if you have done nothing like this before. This course is structured in such a way that each module builds on the one before so you will be guided through each lesson and gradually build up to completing a small finished collage.
This is a self-paced course so you are free to work through it at your own speed and in your own way. Some people will prefer to watch all of the lessons and then make a start and others will want to work through the modules one at a time, completing the exercises and projects as they go along (this is recommended).
