Get Creative at the Common Ground Collage Workshop

Are you looking to connect with fellow creatives and celebrate what makes our town so special? We are thrilled to invite you to the Common Ground Collage Workshop, a vibrant afternoon of art and storytelling happening right here in Ipswich!

In collaboration with Young Artists in Suffolk, this workshop is all about celebrating Ipswich’s diverse communities and our thriving local arts scene. It’s a space to explore your own cultural heritage and share your unique stories through the wonderful medium of collage.

What to Expect

Whether you are a seasoned artist or haven’t picked up a pair of scissors since primary school, this is for you! We are especially encouraging young creatives to join us—it’s a fantastic way to find a community of like-minded, “artsy” people in a relaxed environment. The focus is on three simple things: Craft, Celebration, and Connection.

This is a “drop-in” style event, so there is no pressure to be there right at the start. Feel free to pop in anytime between 2pm and 4pm to get stuck into some crafting.

When and Where

Mark your calendars for a creative Saturday afternoon!

If you have specific requirements to make your visit easier, please feel free to speak with the organisers on the day.

A Quick Note on Photography

The talented Kezia Tan will be attending to capture the energy and creativity of the workshop. Please note that if you are under 18, you will need parental permission to be photographed. Just let the team know if you have any questions about this!

We can’t wait to see what you create. Come along, bring a friend, and let’s celebrate the artistic spirit of Ipswich together!
