How can we help?
Q: Do I need any artistic skills or drawing experience?
Not at all. This workshop is designed for complete beginners. As a certified instructor, I will teach you how to use stencils and simple tools to create beautiful shapes. The focus is on relaxation and mindfulness, not on being "perfect."
Q: Do I need to bring anything to the class?
No, just bring yourself and an open mind. I provide all professional-grade Japanese materials, tools.
Q: Is the pastel powder messy?
It is very gentle. We work with fine powder that can get on your fingertips, but it is very easy to clean. I provide wet wipes, and the pastel washes off easily with just water. It will not stain your clothes permanently.
Q: Is this class suitable for children or teenagers?
This workshop is designed as a quiet, mindful space for adults to unwind. However, teenagers (12+) who are interested in art and relaxation are very welcome to join.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: No cancellations, but free to reschedule up until 3 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 2 hours, $100 - $110 per guest ($110 per guest when you book for 1 guest, $105/guest for 2 guests, $100/guest for 3+ guests. $100 per class surcharge applies for private classes)

Your teacher
Hi!I’m an artist and creative facilitator with a passion for helping people slow down, relax, and reconnect with themselves through art. My main art practice is Japanese Pastel Nagomi Art.“Nagomi” means harmony or calm in Japanese, and this spirit is at the heart of everything I teach.Pastel Nagomi Art is unique because it doesn’t use brushes. Instead, we gently scrape soft pastels into powder and use our fingers to blend the colours onto paper. This slow, hands-on process feels grounding, soothing, and deeply calming — even for complete beginners.What I love most about teaching is helping people realise that you don’t need to be “talented” to create something beautiful. With this simple finger-painting technique, anyone can experience the joy of art in a relaxed, pressure-free way.I believe art should feel safe, gentle, and accessible — not scary or complicated. My goal is to create a warm and welcoming space where you can pause, breathe, and enjoy a mindful break from everyday life.Experience & CredentialsI have over 10 years of drawing experience, and my art journey has been featured on SBS and at the Happy Place Exhibition.I am a fully qualified professional with:JPHAA Pastel Nagomi Art Advanced Instructor CertificationBachelor of Communication DesignCertificate in Art TherapyI’m deeply interested in how art can support emotional wellbeing and reduce stress, which is why I combine my design background with therapeutic art approaches. I currently run community workshops with the City of Greater Dandenong, including sessions in Springvale, Dandenong, and Keysborough.In addition to Nagomi Art, I also create watercolour pet portraits.Feel free to visit my Instagram to explore my artwork and creative journey.
