Creative Expression Workshops

Workshop Overview:

Give yourself a refreshing creative break and take some time for yourself to bring colour, creativity and mindfulness into your weekend. In this class, you will have personal attention from me as you create your own original abstract alcohol ink artwork, along with guided meditations to look into emotions and processes we can explore and heal them.

Why expressing emotions through art is helpful:

  • Art provides a healthy outlet for feelings to be moved through rather than suppressing or getting stuck in them.
  • Creates a safe containment for emotions to be expressed.
  • Helps to be more in touch and aware of your feelings.
  • Helps to bring insight and new understanding to your emotions.
  • Helps to be more comfortable with uncomfortable emotions

The Medium

Not familiar with alcohol inks? This medium allows you to abandon perfectionism and be free and playful as you dabble with different coloured inks and direct them with your breath to form ethereal lines, shapes and textures.

At the end of the workshop, you will be re-energised, delighted by your creative genius, and will have multiple frame-worthy artworks on yupo paper to take home with you. Your finished pieces will serve as a visual reminder to connect back to nature.
