Cut, Color, Create: Henri Matisse–Inspired Collage Workshop

Perfect for art lovers and curious beginners alike, this hands-on workshop invites you to explore the bold, playful world of Henri Matisse’s cut-paper collages. Inspired by Matisse’s iconic late works—his “drawing with scissors” technique—you’ll craft your own expressive collage using organic shapes, vibrant colors, and a touch of personal flair.

You’ll be provided with everything you need: richly colored papers, specialty scissors, glue, and a range of collage materials. Learn how to layer shapes, play with composition, and embrace spontaneity as you create your own abstract masterpiece. You’re also welcome to bring your own ephemera or papers to incorporate for a more personal touch.

This workshop is more than just crafting—it’s an opportunity to slow down, explore your creativity, and connect with the spirit of one of modern art’s most joyful innovators. Whether you’re capturing a feeling, building a bold composition, or simply enjoying the meditative process of cutting and arranging, you’ll leave with an original piece full of energy and color.

It’s the perfect way to spend time with friends, celebrate a special occasion, or just immerse yourself in art-making.
