Bring your scissors and your sense of play for a few hours of collage-making and kibitzing.

Join other like-minded creatives as costume designer and dollmaker Val Johnson guides the process of creating a doll-like collage at her costume collage workshop. It’s all about having some crafty fun, while “kibitzing” with neighbors. It’ll be upstairs in the Front Room Gallery at the Bayview Cash Store at 1-4 p.m., Saturday, June 24.

“This project is about creativity, combining my interest in costumes and dolls and simple crafting,” Johnson said. “There’s no right or wrong way to do it. It should be relaxing and fun.”

Johnson has been costuming theater artists for a couple of decades, so she happens to be a great seamstress with a gorgeous sense of design and color. So come on out and enjoy some craft-making in the sunny, window-lined front room in the historic Bayview Cash Store under her tutelage.

Paper and fabric scraps and some adhesive will be available, but please bring anything you would like to incorporate into your collage, such as mementos, nostalgic fabrics, ribbons, buttons, glitter, jewels or photographs. Inspirational images will be available, but also look online yourself for what appeals to you. Google and Pinterest offer inspiration galore; search paper dolls, paper dress collage, and costume design.

Johnson’s handmade dolls can be found at the Bard’s Boutique, which is downstairs in the Cash Store and where attendees can browse her collection and other local artists’ wares during or after the workshop.

Costume Collage is a pay-what-you-will donation event to support Island Shakespeare Festival, which is also a pay-what-you-will season of classical outdoor theater happening July 21-Sept. 10 on Maxwelton Road behind the Primary School.

The Bard’s Boutique in the Bayview Cash Store is located at 5603 Bayview Road in Langley.
