Self-Guided Collage Workshop

More access, more often! Join any of our guided cut and paste collage workshops but make and play at your own pace



3 hours Location Brunswick Class size 1 to 2 guests   $85 (Afterpay available)

For those wanting to get into our studio more often, you can now come back to TPJ with a Self-Guided Guest ticket.
Join us again (while we host our guided cut and paste collage workshops), but work freely at your own pace and, if you prefer, without following our intros and 'five-chapter process'.
Coming with a Self-Guided Guest ticket gives you the opportunity to settle in, unplug, unwind and become immersed in whichever collage project you're embarking on.
Over this 3 hour time period, you'll have the same access to our high-quality tools, materials and scanning tech, as well as our occasional expertise.
We're very excited about launching Self-Guided Guest tickets, and we can't wait to welcome you back!
T&Cs
  • Purchasing a ticket as a Self-Guided Guest is only available to people who have previously attended one of our guided Cut & Paste Collage Workshops.
  • If you've been before but plan to bring a friend or family member along who has not previously attended that paper joint, they are welcome to arrive at the start of the Self-Guided Session but we request that they purchase a guided ticket via our Cut & Paste Collage Workshop page.

  • 5/5 from Tree Kuharich, attended Mar 2026: I did the self guided class, after completing the intro class last week. Max was helpful in offering me some things to think about as I worked. I used some new tools that I didn’t use last week, and there are still many things instant tried yet. The make it so easy and have so many different tools and materials available. The time flew by; I could have stayed for three more hours. I made another collage when I got home with the scraps they let us keep. I’ll be back; it’s such a great space and they are so knowledgeable about collage. Super fun.
  • 5/5 from Amelia Murphy, attended Feb 2026: I love coming back to That Paper Joint! Max, Zoe and Frankie are lovely hosts and I always feel welcome. The shop looks amazing with so many treasures to grab after the class. Already dreaming about when I can get back….

As before, Max and Zoe were incredibly generous with their time, giving us lots of tips and ideas to build on what we learned in the first workshop.

  • 5/5 from Sarah Corrigan, attended Feb 2025: Another fantastic afternoon spent with Max and Chloe at That Paper Joint! We did the self-guided session this time and got completely immersed in making our various projects, and even though it was self-guided help and encouragement was there when we needed it. Can't wait to go back!

  • 5/5 from Anna Brooks, attended Dec 2024: I loved the guided session I did with my friends a few months ago, and have been thinking about it so much, I thought I’d give an independent session a go. 4hrs of anything for $50 is amazing, let alone to be a part of the environment, and group of like minds in the space. Max is great, and I’ll be back xo

Highly recommend for a wholesome and fun few hours on your own or with friends.

  • 5/5 from Gaby Banens, attended Aug 2024: Great class - excellent materials, good structure to the class and great instructor. I also like that you can join with the class if it’s your first time, but work independently at the same time as the class if you are returning (or join in if you want).

  • 5/5 from Emily Lamberto, attended Mar 2024: Max and Zoe were welcoming hosts and made their creative space an unintimidating and joyful place to be! It is such a nice activity to do with friends (or even by yourself) to really unwind and switch off! Some great results, too!
