In his work, Tim Ingold (2003) challenges the idea that making is simply about imposing a pre-conceived design or form onto raw materials. Instead, he argues that making is a process of engagement with materials, where the maker learns and adapts through interaction with the world.
Following Ingold’s suggestion that making is a process of becoming more aware, we embark on a creative journey ourselves. Using natural materials – foraged and received – we will weave ‘bug hotels’ that can be placed in the natural environment. Though some techniques will be suggested, this journey is not about following a blueprint. Rather, it is about developing an intuitive and personal relationship between the self, the materials, and the surrounding environment.

Collage can be (roughly) defined as ‘a process that involves bringing diverse elements into a unified whole.’ In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about collage through doing – both individually and collaboratively.
Using collage to express their own current area of interest, participants will also be invited to contribute to group pieces that incorporate elements from other projects and fields. This emergent and transdisciplinary application of collage will hopefully not only highlight how versatile and effective a tool it can be, but also kickstart new approaches and partnerships.
