Concrete Nature was commissioned by The Binks Hub to design a series of four collage workshops . Over the course of four sessions, participants explored collage through mapping, conceptual illustration, and data visualisation. The sessions were designed to help them understand how collage can be used to translate information and convey complex ideas into compelling visual narratives using books and magazine cut-outs, postcards and colourful paper stocks. Participants were guided through structure exercises to built creative confidence and developed practical knowledge through hands-on experimentation.

Participants built on their knowledge and experience throughout the programme: starting with playful and experimental outcomes in the first session, and finishing with final pieces that demonstrated a methodical approach to translating complex information into clear visual narratives. Each participant developed a personal toolkit of practical techniques that they can continue to implement and draw upon in their own research and creative practice.
