    The Makery, 123 S Fraser St, State College, PA 16801, USA

    Join us this monthly adult offering of art making and connection! We’ll rip, cut, stick, draw, paint, and have lots of fun while we’re at it.  

    Please plan to bring a 2-D project and materials of your choice. This could be a sketchbook, a canvas, or any other surface you like.  Collage Club is a time to flex your creativity in a low-stress, low-stakes way. We love to make stuff with paper and hope you will too.

    We’ll have basic supplies on hand (glue, scissors, some collage papers) but ask that guests come with their own supplies.

    Please note: this is an opportunity for gathering and connection - not an instructed class - that is reflected in the registration cost.  

    We hope you’ll come for the making and stay for the community 🙂
