Come play with sticks and inks in a leisurely two hour workshop with Imelda! Permission to get messy as we explore her "stick n dip" technique and draw beautiful native florals at the fabulous Vend Marketplace Annerley. Rediscover your inner child who was born with creativity in their veins.
Come on your own, or bring a friend or two. It will be lovely to spend a few hours away from it all. A much-needed creative pause away from the noise and madness that is the world right now.
This workshop is suited for adults, though 12-year-olds accompanied by an adult could enjoy it as well, as the techniques we will be exploring will require a little patience and direction. Look out for our kids' workshops at a later date.

Hi, I’m Imelda - an artist/illustrator based in Brisbane, and I celebrate the beauty of imperfection in bold ink and vibrant colour.
Art has always been my solace in an uncertain and noisy world. I'm inspired by the everyday things - good food, weird and wonderful nature, and the love of family. Foraged sticks and found objects turn these into pieces I share with the world in the hope that it too sparks joy and reminds us to slow down and be present.
I love connecting and sharing my practice with others in a relaxing setting where we explore my "stick n dip" technique and allow yourself permission to play. Get a fresh perspective in "seeing".
Set free that "inner child" in you who were born with creativity pulsing through their veins.
You will leave with knowledge and techniques to continue your own creative journey and never again have to say "I can't draw".
