"If love is to bloom... You make me a garden in summer... overgrown, unkempt, and wild."
Join collage artist Maja Irene Bolier for FERTILIZER, a hands-on workshop that reclaims and reimagines the erotic image through the transformative power of collage.
Maja Irene's work explores the delicate balance between the power and fragility of sexuality. By slicing through erotic imagery and layering botanical elements, she alters the narrative, challenging the male gaze and redefining sensuality on her own terms.
In this workshop, Maja invites you to do the same.
Using scissors and scalpels as tools of subversion, participants will dissect and reconstruct found imagery to question, play with, and reshape dominant representations of sexuality. Through this intimate and creative process, you will explore the power dynamics embedded in visual culture while crafting your own visual language—one that is playful, erotic, defiant, or tender.
What to Expect:
What you'll get
  • An introduction to Maja Irene Bolier's artistic practise and her approach to feminist collage.
  • Hands-on collage-making using a variety of materials, including vintage erotic imagery and botanical prints
  • Guided exercises to explore themes of power, desire, and reclaiming the narrative
  • Space for reflection, discussion, and sharing your creative process (optional)
  • A small selection of light snacks & nibbles included (free feel to BYO too)
Knowledge required
This workshop is open to anyone curious about collage, feminism, and the intersection of art and sensuality. No prior collage experience is necessary—just a willingness to cut, question, and create.
Come ready to get your hands dirty and sow the seeds of new visual possibilities. Together, we'll cultivate a garden of untamed, unapologetic expression.
Please note: This is an 18+ event. Some imagery used in this workshop may be sensitive or challenging. At That Paper Joint, we value creative expression while fostering a respectful and inclusive environment.
What to bring
Just you. All tools/materials provided, naturally.
BYO drinks if you wish.
