Collage Jawn: An Art-Making Social with Viv Verducci // September 2025
Introducing the second edition of Collage Jawn: A Collage Social @ Tattooed Mom! 
Join us for a night of creativity, connection, and chaos (the fun kind) on Tuesday, September 2nd, from 6-9PM at your favorite local dive bar.
Whether you’re an artist, poet, zine-maker, or just collage-curious, this is your chance to cut loose—literally.
Bring your own scissors, glue sticks, magazines, or any collage-worthy scraps to use and trade, OR donate $5-$10 to our host artist, Viv Verducci (@lentilsouplover) as they guide you through wordsmithing collage slapping tips and tricks!
We’ll have tables set up, vibes set high, and plenty of room for folks to mingle and spread out to create solo or collaborate!
This is a drop-in, no-pressure event: come solo or with friends, stay for ten minutes or all night. No experience needed—just bring your imagination and let the scraps guide you.
Poets and wordsmiths welcome too—cut up your old lines or find new ones in a pile of forgotten pages.
Let’s make a mess together 😉
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND
