About workshops

I believe in gentle teaching and my workshops are always open to everyone, regardless the age, gender or experience.

I love to always create a topic to work with during the workshops plus set of questions to help you guide through. You can use it as an inspiration in your collage or create something completely different on your own. You make the rules! I will always be there to help you in case you need assistance or have questions.

Some of my workshops are completely free (thanks to grants or other funding) and some of my workshops require a small registration fee. This fee is used to cover time, materials, refreshments and helps me to keep organizing the events.

FAQ:

How long is the workshop ?
The workshop is typically 1,5-2 hours but it can sometimes stretch to 2,5 hours. There are no strict rules, so if you are done with your collage, you are free to hang out or leave earlier if needed.

Is the workshop suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! I would like to encourage you to come, even if you don`t have any previous experience with collages.

What will I learn at the workshop?
You will learn some basic techniques of collaging, and you can try working with different tools apart from scissors, such as clippers, scalpels etc.
But overall, the workshop is about relaxing in comfortable, safe and inspiring environment and getting into the feeling of flow, rather than gaining specific, exact knowledge. But who knows, you might learn something about yourself!

What can I expect at the workshop?
The workshops are designed to stimulate your creativity and help you get into the feeling of flow. You can expect safe and encouraging environment to help you reconnect with yourself, your creativity and others if you want to.

Small refresments, and materials are provided and you are of course welcome to take the collage home with you.

The workshop is too expensive for me but I would still like to come. Can you help?
Absolutely, we can always talk about it and maybe split the payment into two. I would love to help, please send me a DM on instagram, or email at marie@rvkcollageclub.com .

What people said about the workshop:

“I took part in the collage workshop last year and it was lovely 🙂 It helped me stay present and reconnect with myself, and it had a calming and regenerating power. And then Mariè’s voice and gentle energy accompanying you are truly added value. ✨️ “– Ilaria

“The collage workshop I attended was a wonderful and far too rare opportunity to spend a couple of hours in good company, joyfully keeping my hands, eyes and creative brain busy. I loved the fact that I came in having no idea what I would end up making—and left with little collages I couldn’t have imagined beforehand. I have great memories of that weekend morning and would love to join a future workshop!” – Cerise

“I’m a graphic designer and artist, but after struggling with depression and PTSD for over 3 years I lost touch with my creativity. This workshop gave me such a safe, cozy space. I loved everything – the materials, the freedom, the gentle guidance. It reminded me that art can heal ✨🖌️. Slowly, I’m feeling creative again, and that means the world, thank you very much!” – E.

“What a lovely experience!
I always thought collage was not “my thing.” But I was so surprised to discover how open and welcoming the workshop was. A relaxed, creative, and safe space, which made it really easy to just enjoy the process. There were tons of materials to play with, and Marie was always around to help out or gently encourage those of us who felt a bit hesitant at first.
If you’re on the fence about trying it, just go for it—you won’t be disappointed!” – Annonymous

“I visited Maries collage workshop to get in some inspiration and find back to my creative flow. She gave us a beautiful introduction and had great material and equipment for everyone who signed up for the workshop and her gentle guidance and interest in our progress really pushed the potential in all of us.Thank you so much.” – Julian
