City Layers: A Collage Exploration of Urban Identity
City Layers: A Collage Exploration of Urban Identity
Monday 7 April 2025, 3-5pm in Fire Station Artists’ Studios
Fire Station Artists’ Studios invites visitors of all ages to a visual arts collage-making workshop centred around a city’s identity, history, and cultural essence.
The workshop will invite participants to create multi-layered, textural collages that explore the hidden narratives, architectural beauty and personal connections within a city. Using mixed media, found materials and historical imagery, attendees will craft collages that capture the soul of a city – its past, present and imagined future. Participants are invited to consider Dublin City and/or a city that they are familiar with.
This workshop is part of the Neighbourhood Project by Fire Station Artists’ Studios. It will be facilitated by Artist and Neighbourhood Project Coordinator, Rachael Kelly Ryder.

Organiser
Located in north east inner city Dublin, Fire Station Artists’ Studios was established in 1993 to provide support for professional visual artists.
Fire Station Artists’ Studios (FSAS) provides subsidised combined living and working studios for Irish and international artists, large scale sculpture workshop facilities and training opportunities for artists. Fire Station Artists’ Studios training programme has expanded to include digital and film training and we continue to host technical training and master classes which incorporates critical reflection.
A key policy of FSAS is to contribute to the debate on collaborative and socially engaged arts practice, through a commissioning process that incorporates critique of artists’ work.
