Love the oversized characters in Guillaume Chiron’s collages. It emphasises the playful nature of the image but also the complete absorption in their activity. This is what I like about some of the images I created of my boys in nature. Their attention and focus in their surroundings highlights the sense of awe and wonder at the world that children are blessed with
Our Story — OR8DESIGN
Reflecting back on some of the talks I’ve attended this year Owen Findley of OR8 designs really stood out for me. One of the things I’ve been conscious of doing is to simplify and pare back my work with my tendencies to initially throw everything at it. Owen tackles this with stunning results in his simplified landscape prints. The fact that he combines his love of the great outdoors is a huge draw for me and his approach to work life balance and personal attitude to pricing was very refreshing

Tanya Coopers digital collage work is fun and fresh, I like how she mixes up illustration with the photography
Strong similarities between artworks by Martin O’Neal and Eduardo Recife and both evoking a nurturing feel with their choice of words
Intrigued by Eduardo Recife’s aversion to eyes
Manchester-based creative studio DR.ME embarked on a year-long collage project on exactly this day last year, meaning they’ve come to the en
Love the idea of a collage a day and good intentions are set for doing it...soon

On a personal level I’ve found my ability to draw very time consuming with my tendency towards perfectionism. Discovering digital collage has allowed me more freedom to explore themes, colours and composition while still retaining some of the mindfulness of hand rendering that I enjoy. The perfect combination!
Meet visual artist Jazz Grant “Everyone has the skill set to collage”
In an interview published by ‘It’s Nice That’ Grant talks about how she was set on the path to collage……
How I got here......
You initially studied menswear at London College of Fashion. Are there any transferable learnings from your studies that apply to the work you do now?
We were encouraged to design through collaging with our research imagery. I remember lecturers would say, “If you can’t draw, collage.” And that was me, really, so I was collaging all the time.

Trying out different palettes
Captured some great shadow play with some of the paper forms I created. Inspired by Stockport architecture and Katherine Dube’s ceramic art work

A big contributor to the mindfulness and wellbeing magazine, Breathe, I like how Perju plays with light and shadow only using flat block colour
Today is "Black Friday". Do you fall prey to the deals and the hype? Is it a good thing? Tell me what you think!
“OUR SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES ARE FAILING US......Haven’t you noticed...there is nothing you can acquire, purchase, put on, style your hair with, play with, that’s going to make any difference to the sense of loss and alienation. When will we accept that it’s a journey within that needs to be undertaken. I’m not a Luddite, anti technology or medicine but when will we accept purchasing for the point of purchasing to sustain the system surely has to end and why is no one offering us that, WHY?”
Over the summer I responded to one of the weekly briefs, set by Brian Grimwood, with an illustrated collage done in Procreate. The given words were bonkers and fun and a photograph of my son seemed an obvious choice. I used Procreate on the iPad to cut out what I needed and illustrate the background. I really enjoyed this process and experimented with some photographs from our summer adventures
MICHELLE THOMPSON MA (RCA)
At the beginning of my degree journey I picked up the iPad and began working in Procreate. After years of being a technophobe I found this process highly intuitive and felt, pretty quickly, at home. I still battled with this idea over analogue processes for a number of reasons, not least because of authenticity and therapeutic value, but found myself drawn to the iPad again and again. So I find it reassuring to read that collage artists like Thompson have now entirely switched to digital and championing the possibilities and streamlining their process while retaining the individuality and love of creating
LightWave Pottery
Dean Mcraine at lightWave Pottery specialises in the Italian clay building technique millefiori. Blocks are assembled from canes of coloured clay then sliced to form patterned tiles. It’s very similar to the Japanese Nerikomi technique. I had a little experiment for the world food program brief making some leaves with polymer clay and it’s a lovely process
