Reconnect with your creativity through writing, collage, and gentle reflection in this small group studio workshop in East Redfern.
In this workshop, you will create a handmade accordion-style art book that gathers your writing, collage, and discoveries from the session. Using short guided writing exercises, visual prompts, and collage materials, you will explore creativity in a way that feels open, playful, and low-pressure.
This is not about polished outcomes or needing to be “good” at art. It is about following ideas, responding intuitively, and giving yourself permission to make. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as artists, writers, designers, and anyone wanting to reconnect with the process.
By the end of the session, you will leave with your own personal art book, written fragments, visual response pages, and a gentle creative process you can return to.
What you'll get
A handmade accordion-style art book to take home, along with written reflections, collage pages, and a gentle creative process you can return to after the workshop. All materials and morning tea are included.
Knowledge required
No experience is needed. This workshop is beginner-friendly and suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced creatives.
What to bring
Just yourself and your curiosity. You are also welcome to bring a few personal images or paper fragments to include, if you wish.
