Collage Art Class: Embrace Your Inner Child

Looking for relaxing things to do in Sydney? Join this collage art class today with Juxta Fab!

In this workshop, you'll learn how to befriend and reconnect with your inner child through collage. Led by collage artist Fabio Borges, this class helps you unleash your creativity and help you build upon collage art skills.

Why Inner Child?
Fabio Borges, a passionate advocate for the healing power of art, believes that it's never too late to have a wonderful childhood. Drawing from his own healing journey and inspired by the transformative nature of collage, Fabio has chosen the theme of the inner child to guide you in making peace with your younger selves.

Through collage, you will have the opportunity to create a meaningful piece of art that serves as a gentle reminder to be kind to themselves during challenging moments in life. As Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." 

Note:
Please be aware that this workshop is not a healing session, but rather a recreational practice designed to help you tap into your creativity, find inspiration, and infuse more joy into your lives. Collage serves as a vehicle for self-expression and exploration, enabling you to connect with your inner child in a lighthearted and uplifting way.
