The Collage Studio

What is a collage?

A collage is made by cutting up, arranging, and gluing down materials such as paper, string, fabric, and newspaper. 

Nancy Standlee

"Coller is a French word, that means to glue something together, so it makes sense that a collage is when you glue materials to a flat surface.
