Join the artists at Warehouse 4726 as they host an hour of creative free time.
We're celebrating Februllage!
Never heard of it? Us either, until now. We follow the Edinburgh Collage Collective on Instagram, "A Collage Community running projects & showcasing works of global collage artists. Founded and run by @rhedfawell." That's where we learned about #Februllage. (@margiecampmany shared the event with us, too - thanks for that!)
"FEBRULLAGE 2021 is a month-long collage challenge run by @februllage. Founded and organised by @edinburghcollagecollective & @scandinavian_collage_museum, @februllage invites you to make a collage a day throughout the month of February. Starting from 1st February each day @februllage will post up a daily word from their official word prompt Februllage2021 calendar." (@februllage)
Feb 4: Joy
Feb. 11: Airplane
Feb. 18: Paint
Feb. 25: Teacup
This has inspired us to do a weekly gathering with our community - we've been wanting to do more collages and can't think of a better way to get started up again in 2021. So, get your materials together and let's get ready to share a few creative hours together in Februllage!
Join us online with materials from your home, like:
books & magazines
colored paper
paint or ink
markers and pens
old greeting cards
newspaper
fabric
ribbons and string
You'll also need
Elmer's glue (or something like it)
A large piece of paper or canvas, even an old hardcover book will work (hello, altered book!)
OR CHOOSE TO JOIN US IN THE STUDIO AND USE OUR MATERIALS!
$25 per person
We do require that you wear a mask and practice social distancing - we want to be sure we all stay healthy and happy.

Remember to use #februllage or #februllage2021 to share your submissions on Instagram. @februllage will endeavour to share a wide range of works through each day on the @februllage feed.
Edinburgh Collage Collective says, "The main purpose of FEBRULLAGE is to encourage artists to share ideas, experiment and connect with others. Importantly, have fun!!"
Warehouse 4726 isn't connected to the organization in any way, we just really agree with their purpose for doing this project and to support it and participate. We embrace and encourage supporting creativity in all ways.
WANT MORE THAN JUST ONCE A WEEK? Visit @februllage on Instagram to swipe through their Prompt Calendars and the translations: English, Indonesian, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, French and Russian. There's something for every day in February!
