Create N' Sip Collage Art Workshop - 'Togetherness'

'Togetherness' - A joyful tumble of leaves, nuts, and stems and Flowering Gum blossom with an attention-seeking Willy Wagtail or Australian Magpie on top.In this workshop we will:

• Choose from an extensive collection of hand-painted and printed coloured papers for a palette of your choice.
• Cut, compose, stick, and construct your image using artist-quality papers, glues, and paints.
• Learn paper collage illustration techniques.
• Meet other like-minded people looking for a 'light learning' option.
• Discover collage as a great tool not only for developing our creative skills and self-expression but for finding calm, relaxation, and mindfulness.

Is this for you?This session is perfect for small groups of family or friends, singles looking for a relaxing and welcoming creative space, and for anyone looking for a joyful and stimulating session where you leave the world at the door.This is a follow-along step-by-step collage workshop - but not a traditional paint and sip style class.Everyone's work will look different - because we all make our own choices about colour and shape and detail. We all use our hands and eyes differently - but anyone needing extra help has Fi close at hand to tweak and encourage.Raw beginners especially love these energetic, confidence-building sessions.No advanced skills are required, all the tricky bits are supported and taken care of for you, you just need an ability to follow instructions in English and the physical dexterity and eyesight to use scissors and glue.**We aim to make this workshop as accessible as possible so if you have any physical constraints please let us know in advance and we can tweak the workshop for you.What to expect:This project is completed in the time allocated because we have designed a streamlined process so that everyone, even those who say they 'don't have a creative bone in their body', can easily achieve a great outcome.Fi is a big believer in the power of self-expression - This helps to build creative confidence in raw beginners or those looking for more positive ways to add creative action to their lives and for those with existing skills, we see further building and flexing of creative muscles.Throughout the workshop, you'll learn about Fi's process and get inspired to go on to use it to keep creating your work.We need a minimum of 4 participants to confirm this workshop.If our dates don’t suit please email to waitlist yourself or propose a different date. Private groups of 6-12 are happily catered for.Testimonials:
