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!

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!

Thank you, the session was very instructive and helpful - the time passed quickly and enjoyably

Gillian Gallo • 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!

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!

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. :)

The teacher was great, a perfect blend of instructive, helpful but allowing you the space to be creative. The materials are copious and brilliant and the teaching style flexed depending on need. A perfect activity for groups or individuals. My sisters and I LOVED it.

Laura was an amazing teacher and the workshop was the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning. I felt guided and encouraged all the way through and I've enjoyed experimenting with an art form that was entirely new to me!
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.
