Recent reviews of Vintage Collage Workshop

  • 5/5 from Suzy Barber, attended Apr 2025: What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning. Really enjoyed the class. Loved the mix of cuttings and material to choose from, the careful steerage from the teacher and the interesting setting. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Nu Tan, attended Apr 2025: Laura is lovely and it's such a meditative experience. I highly recommend everyone to try it out!
  • 5/5 from Katen Senior, attended Jan 2025: It was a lovely workshop, lots of materials to choose from, really enjoyable and time flew by. Laura was a great teacher. She was very friendly and provided guidance throughout. This was my first time doing collage and I feel I was given enough tips to try and do some at home.
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Christof, attended Feb 2024: Absolutely brilliant class! This was for my birthday and me and my friends had an amazing time. Tons of great material to choose from and a banging 90s soundtrack made this a fab day. 10/10
  • 5/5 from Ingrid Jinca, attended Oct 2023: Great teacher, great materials and explanation! I will attend this again really soon! Book now
  • 5/5 from Jenna Houlihan, attended Sep 2023: What a wonderful workshop! Laura was a great teacher - super friendly and explained everything well. She also provided great tips and guidance throughout, and I'm definitely going to experiment more at home. Lots of materials to choose from, too. Venue was also spot on. Would definitely recommend!
  • 4/5 from Muriel, attended Sep 2023: Thank you, the session was very instructive and helpful - the time passed quickly and enjoyably
  • 5/5 from Gillian Gallo, attended May 2023: I really enjoyed this workshop! I have a little bit of experience with collage and Laura's expertise helped me to think about different ways to approach it. I'm even considering taking the workshop again sometime I enjoyed it so much. It was fun to see everyone else's creations, and I am pleased with my own. Thank you Laura for a fun and informative evening!
  • 5/5 from Angelina, attended May 2023: Loved this workshop, learned great techniques and Laura is a great teacher. Loved what I made and will definitely book again
  • 5/5 from Elea Roussotte, attended Apr 2023: This class was absolutely WONDERFUL - we have tried out many creative classes in London (and are not very talented in any way), but this was by far one of the best we have done. The teacher is amazing, passionate and attentive (expect some pastries and coffee/tea during the class), and actually gives you great tips and personalised advice instead of just staying "follow your instinct" like some other art teachers do. The activity in itself is really fun - you never get bored as there are several "phases" to the activity, yet you never feel rushed. It is also a great activity if you want to get creative but don't feel "talented", i.e. no technical skills are needed, just an eye for aesthetics and colours! Also really appreciated the varied selection of vintage magazines/books to choose from: whilst you might think this is an easy DIY activity to do at home, it isn't, and you really see the value in coming to the class. We will definitely be back soon!
  • 5/5 from Fleur Sousa, attended Mar 2023: Well organised, Great support and instructions. Really lovely class and great snacks too. The best materials - vintage vogue and the everything you can think of

  • 5/5 from Uma, attended Feb 2023: Had an absolutely lovely time at this workshop! It was our first time collaging and Laura was a great teacher, gave great advice and direction which really helped us bring our individual style out. The time flew by and we could've kept going for another 2 hours! Would definitely do this again and we all left the workshop with a new appreciation for collaging. Thanks Laura!
  • 5/5 from Evangelia Tsakali, attended Jan 2023: Had an amazing time! It was very very fun, everyone was friendly, there was lots of equipment and resources. The teacher was great, and extremely welcoming and helpful! I would 100% recommend it to others and would do it again myself. :)

  • 5/5 from Amber Westerholm-Smyth, attended May 2022: Teacher was fab, class was fab. Can’t fault it! Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing class
  • 5/5 from Marco Locatelli, attended Apr 2022: Laura was an amazing teacher and the workshop was the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning.

I would recommend this to people who are looking for a relaxed experience or people who want to do something crafty, fun and accessible to multiple skill levels.

I'm Laura, an analog collage artist originally from the Netherlands - I have a deep love for old, secondhand papers which I save from landfill by turning them into new pieces of art. My vintage collage workshops across London are not only very fun - they're a great way to reduce stress, stimulate your creativity, feel inspired or to pick up a new hobby!
