About us
Contemporary Collage Magazine is a family affair! It was founded by designer and collage artist, Les Jones, and is now run with his daughter, Molly (designer) and son, Wilf (Social media and operations) - remarkably, they haven’t killed each other yet! The magazine studio is based in Newcastle-under-Lyme, a small town in Staffordshire, UK.
Les Jones
Les is a designer, photographer, speaker and collage artist. He discovered his passion for collage art at the beginning of the Pandemic and, after a fruitless search for magazines on the topic, decided to launch Contemporary Collage Magazine.

Dislikes : Passwords • Cous Cous (what’s the point?) • DIY (because he’s beyond useless at it)
Molly Campbell
Before joining her Dad to launch CC. Magazine, Molly worked for six years as a graphic designer for the cosmetic brand, LUSH. Molly is the unofficial boss in the studio, keeping all the plates spinning and making sure Les does what he needs to do without getting distracted!
