Collage is all about the joyful, experimental, and freeing process of cutting, arranging, and pasting painted papers, yet it’s a meaningful enough process to have satisfied Picasso, Braque, Matisse, and many other well-known artists. We will explore aspects of what makes strong and beautiful art through shape, value, line, texture, color and most importantly, variety & contrast. We’ll make beautiful paper collages inspired by the beauty in and around Lecce, Italy.

Come and explore the natural beauty, the cultural gems and the fascinating history of this charming and diverse corner of Italy.
