Collage Masterclass with Peter Madden

Join artist Peter Madden for an afternoon masterclass on collage composition,
held in connection with City Gallery Wellington’s exhibition Generation X: 50
Artworks from the Chartwell Collection.

Please note that this workshop will be held at Wellington Museum and is recommended for adults. Peter Madden will also be presenting a workshop for younger audiences earlier
in the day.

Magazines have arrived on our shores in their millions.
Now a retreating resource, their pages hold the flotsam and jetsam of cultures
past. Peter Madden uses found photography of the flora and fauna derived from old
magazines, books and encyclopedias: birds, reptiles, flowers, butterflies to
create magical inventive 2D and 3D collage. In this masterclass, we will hunt through
old magazines for photographs to liberate with our blade, re-releasing our wild
images into a field of becoming new to upcycle detritus though collage, into
art.

All materials provided, including complimentary tea and coffee.
