Sweetcorn Fiesta! Sheffield Collage Club – For Adults

Some crafty social fun for the grownups…

This adult, collage based craft club, started in September 2024, running on Thursday’s at Over The Yardarm, Abbeydale Road, Sheffield and on Friday’s at the end of the month at The Waggon, Millhouses.

For the moment, until marketing and a few other projects are established, sessions are running on a monthly basis at The Waggon only. If and when this changes, an update will be posted. Over The Yardarm is an amazing host venue and we hope to return soon. (*This update was made Jan 2025).

All materials are included. Collage exercises and games will kick start your informal session, with a suggested project for you to work on for the main 45-60 duration. Each month there will be a suggested theme or themes, suggested elements to include, ‘random pot challenge’ in which precursor items are provided for warm ups, a technique to try out will be explained and some style elements suggested to explore. Whatever mashups you end up with is entirely of your own bonkers creative journies!

Mixed media. There will be a large range of materials, which will include film magazines, lifestyle magazines, postcards, decor books, maps, flora and fauna prints, wallpapers, coloured card, vintage books, landscapes and countries, National Geographic mags, always creepy doll books, fabrics, felts and leathers, ribbons, buttons, beads and other 3D elements.

You can use the opportunity to knock up some gift cards, removing the cost of the session itself! I love a creepy doll book for my greetings cards. You will find what kind of media and imagery that you are drawn towards and I will of course source more materials based on your feedback.
