Explore the wonderful world of collage
Three to four times a month, Issues Magazine Shop hosts a collage workshop. Sessions are often held on a weeknight, with occasional afternoon or weekend events. Craft a blessing, build a vision board or remix a love poem for things to come. The experience is the joy! Invite your curiosity out on date or bring a kid, parent, partner or pal: collage is for everyone.
Facilitated by Alanna Chelmick, and often co-facilitated with Bryonie Wise, participants are invited to the shop to make their own collage from a selection of contemporary and vintage materials — to create memory. The facilitator(s) will open the session and explain how the evening will work, followed by collage making time. The evening will finish with a show & tell, where you can show your creations if you are comfortable.
About Alanna Chelmick
Alanna Chelmick is a multi-disciplinary artist who creates with many mediums: paper, paint, makeup, textiles and the natural world. She is fuelled by nature and all its elements, animals on the ground to the sky, community care and connection. She finds joy in the smallest things and follows her intuition, moving around the world. Smiling at “strangers” is common. You will find her talking to birds, appreciating light and the way it dapples. Nearly thirty years ago, she was nicknamed Alanna of Love and it stuck.
About Bryonie Wise
Bryonie Wise is an artist, heart alchemist and daughter of nature who loves library books, road tripping with her rescue doggo Winston and the many ways sunlight communicates with trees. She believes without a doubt that when we come from a place of love, everything is possible.
About Issues Magazine Shop
Issues Magazine Shop is an independent magazine retailer founded by Nicola Hamilton. Issues is a clubhouse, a gathering place for magazine lovers, and a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and a new generation of independent media in Canada.
“Issues is a love letter to the people and projects keeping print alive. The idea came from my own desire for a shop like this in Toronto. Somewhere I could go to pick up my favourites, but also to experience the thrill of stumbling on something new. I was searching for this imaginary place and no one was doing it — so here I am!”
