Grow a Garden Collage - postponed

Enjoy a fun and creative day, drawing inspiration from Rosemoor and your own garden, to create your own collage garden picture "grown" entirely from recycled papers and card. Kim will teach and support you with techniques of collage, and offer guidance through the day. Every stage will be demonstrated so that you feel comfortable and confident. You will learn a variety of creative skills and explore different ideas.

Kim will provide a large selection of interesting pieces of rescued paper, but feel free to bring anything that is personal to you to include in your very own creation. Towards the end of the day you will be able to frame your finished work (the frame will be new, not recycled!).

Kim Watkins started Random Stuff Paper in 2013. She has a passion for creating beautiful things out of old and recycled paper and card. . All works are one-off's and are hand crafted using a wide range of interesting and engaging material including historical almanacs, tide-timetables, maps and even some of the junk mail that gets posted through the door! No paper is excluded and is acquired from a vast range of sources. Therefore each crafted artwork is not just a visual narrative, but also one that within their designs, has a story to tell by the materials used during its creation.

You may recognise Kim from our craft fairs at RHS Rosemoor where she has been a regular stall holder for a number of years. This is her first workhop at RHS Rosemoor and we are excited to welcome her in this capacity.

• Your booking reference number
