Art and Collage Workshop: Fireside Comforts
Collage of Fireside Comfort
As the brisk winds of autumn usher in a season of reflection and warmth, we invite you to our art & collage workshop, "Fireside Comforts." Come connect with others, and create a collage that captures the essence of comfort and safety that so many aim to foster during this time of year. This artistic gathering is a celebration of the places and moments that provide solace and warmth during the cooler days of fall.
THE WORKSHOP
Join us in crafting personal collages that depict your individual sanctuaries, whether they're cozy corners by the fire, cherished indoor havens, or heartwarming scenes with loved ones. Utilizing a selection of papers, textured fabrics, pens, markers, paints and other materials, guests will express what comfort and safety mean to them through the medium of collage.
No experience is necessary. Everyone will be provided with magazines, fabrics, paint, pens, markers, scissors, glue, and paper to use.
ABOUT MASH VASS
Mash Vass draws her inspiration from artists such as Frida Kahlo, Lee Krasner and Hannah Höch. She blends these great artists' work with her own experiences and explores themes around death and life, the masculine and feminine, and the movement of the human body. Her preferred medium of choice is collage, particularly when she combines her own photography and ink work into the piece.
Losing her mother at a young age was a formative experience. This motivated her to cherish and perceive life in a way unlike that of her peers – knowing that every moment is fleeting. As a child living in an immigrant family, she works to honour her Greek roots, her ancestors, and her loved ones, for all that they sacrificed for her to flourish through her art. Her rich culture and history can be seen in her various pieces.
Mash deeply enjoys hearing people’s interpretations of her art, and the emotions and reflections that they evoke. She hopes her work sparks a moment of joy, sadness, clarity, compassion, and wisdom in her audience. Learn more about Mash Vass at www.mashvass.com.
