Creative Club: Intuitive Collage

Creative Club at New Ren meets on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8 PM, and the November project is Intuitive Collage Landscapes. Facilitator Ami Maki guides participants in making a whimsical, make-believe landscape from images and found natural materials, beginning with a short introduction and, weather permitting, a mini scavenger hunt for leaves, sticks, rocks or other appealing objects. The monthly project is geared toward beginners, with a finished piece by the end of the month. Ami brings a selection of natural materials and magazines, and multiple examples are provided. Participants may bring a photo, a scrap of something they love or a magazine, but nothing is required. The session is framed as pure play with no pressure or expectations. Tickets are on a $10–20 sliding scale, and sign-up is available through the bookshop's online events page.
