A self-proclaimed maximalist, documentarist, collector and art supply lover, Katie Malone-Smith occasionally tries to find a way to make life slow down as it can often feel like the world is overindulgent, chaotic and unjust.


Struggling with a way to make sense of the world, she started working in simplistic minimal collages to help organize her world.


This will be a minimalist collage break for those who have overstimulated lives. Make some collages, make some sense, or simply juxtapose. Learn what to do with those extra pieces you absolutely love but can’t fit in the collage you are working on. Take a brain break and learn to simplify, through an afternoon of organizing your collage fodder and your mind. .


Students should bring some collage fodder that they have always wanted to use but never have. If you do not have a stash of collage fodder, bring any interesting junk mail, magazines, packaging, cool papers and vintage stuff that you have on hand. Berkshire Art Center will also have a plethora of collage fodder on hand,
