Collage is an affordable hobby that anyone can enjoy. Discover how to source and repurpose materials from old magazines, transforming everyday images into stunning works of art.
Ideas for each session are sent to anyone registered to help inspire you before the class.
Each session has a different theme:
  • February theme is 'Thankful' - Create a gratitude-themed collage. Use words and images to highlight people, places, and moments you’re grateful for. Include symbols of abundance, such as food, flowers, or hands holding items. Choose warm, earthy tones to evoke a feeling of appreciation.
  • April theme is 'Reflection' - create a collage of where you dive into self-expression with themes of self-reflection. You could explore your past and present by using imagery and textures. Incorporate mirrors, shadows, or abstract shapes to represent introspection.
Add words or fragments of writing that reflect your thoughts and feelings.
  • June theme is 'In motion' - Create a college where we celebrate movement in art. Experiment with dynamic shapes, bold lines, and overlapping elements to portray running, dancing, or nature’s flow. Include imagery of waves, flowing fabric, or sports. Try layered textures to add a sense of depth and energy.
  • August theme is 'What inspires you' - Create a collage that celebrates your sources of inspiration, such as iconic figures or mentors, nature (e.g., mountains, oceans, or sunsets), books, quotes, or songs that have impacted you.
  • October theme is 'Day of the Dead/Halloween' - Collage with a thematic and festive challenge. Celebrate loved ones for Day of the Dead with traditional marigold colours, skulls, and vibrant patterns. OR create spooky Halloween scenes with bats, pumpkins, witches, and eerie textures.
  • December theme is 'Summer, memories in the making' - Create a collage where you capture the essence of summer. Use bright, warm colours to depict beach days, BBQs, or summer travels. Incorporate photos or clippings of sunsets, ice cream cones, and flip-flops. Personalise with memories of your favourite summer moment.
Ideas for each session are sent to anyone registered to help inspire you before the class.
During the virtual collage session, you'll get the chance to connect with your inner creative in a positive, fun and chilled space. Guided by an expert, you'll learn some of their favourite tips for creating unique mixed media artworks that you'll be proud to display in your home.

Fran is an artist; an educator, neither overshadows, they simply entwine and enrich one another.
At a young age Fran discovered the value of creating art in her daily life. The act of art helped Fran express her identity. The process of developing an idea, especially with jewellery, seeing that idea come to completion by Fran's own hand filled her with satisfaction and accomplishment.  Fran began to see how creating art helped other aspects of my life and learning.
Fran is inspired by nature, patterns, form and texture. Each created piece portrays a slice of life, a perspective of the world in which we all live. Her mediums span painting and jewellery to collage and stitching. They all bring joy, though not everything turns out how she envisaged.
In particular Fran sees the unique design and individually handcrafted nature of bespoke jewellery as an ornamental way of extending personal self-expression. During the creative process, she is mindful that someone will be wearing the piece and it will come alive only when it finds its owner.
Fran is most comfortable in the studio classroom teaching art than in any other place or endeavour. It fills her soul to help others learn by exposing them to tools, materials and techniques of Fran's trade and then develop their skills and confidence in the creative medium.
Through support, conversation and laughter, I set a welcoming scene of free expression.
Ladybird Design Creative Studio is the culmination of creating a life around my passions of art, jewellery and teaching. It frees Fran to take a piece of silver, blank canvas or paper, turn it into a beautiful thing and share it with the world every day. Fran believes now more than ever that pursuing one’s passions makes life more colourful and vibrant, gives us pleasure and purpose, but most of all it reminds us of who we are.
Fran would love to share the joy of creating and making with you.
