Art Classes for Therapy, Fun or Both - Brisbane

Signing up for weekly sessions helps you to make that regular commitment to a life-changing habit as well as form new friendships.

If you are looking for a way to stop feeling bored, lonely, unhappy, empty, resentful, or inadequate, Art should be part of your action plan?

​Maybe you just lost for ideas or out of practice?

​My unique ART MENTORING PROGRAM, located in Manly West near Wynnum is both fun and therapeutic. There are 8 modules offered per year. Each Module offers new content, so you can continue your creative journey for 12 months before ever repeating a lesson. You can start any time of the year and if you miss a module you can complete them in any order.

You’ll be learning Art to love life.

My art-journaling style program allows you to ‘taste test’ a wide variety of different media while you build Art skills and Art confidence. As your mentor, I will show you how to develop a creative mindset as you create pages of ideas and “samplers” that can be used to inspire large works later.

The journaling format also means you’ll make more art in less time AND because a journal takes up less space, you can easily continue your new passion at home. You can even work on your lap when the kids are awake!!

​What’s included: I supply all the materials, equipment, and resources needed for classes, as well as a beautiful A4 ART journal to keep forever. PLUS I give you BONUS daily journal prompts (each week) to inspire more creativity at home, Complimentary Tea/coffee too!

These fabulous sessions are for people with some experience, who want to learn more, practice, make friends, explore ideas, ask for feedback, and share their expertise and most of all, set aside TIME to be productive.

Each session allows you to work side by side with like-minded people while doing your own project independently, to avoid creative blocks and lack of motivation.

Splat ‘n’ Chat sessions are designed so we can support and encourage each other! Perfect if you’re a procrastinator!

This is a mixed ability group that is all about helping you create more and enjoy doing it!

I know that whatever level you’re at, it’s often find it difficult to escape your chores and make time for your passion.

You will be amazed at how I can help you to increase your productivity and expand your ideas.

MY STUDIO SPACE IS YOURS so that together we help each other to articulate our ‘Arty thoughts’ and get our projects finished.

If you aim to move you toward exhibiting and selling your work, Splat ‘n’ Chat could be your first step toward making it happen. Imagine the thrill of taking part in local Art Markets or Exhibitions and inviting your friends and family to the Opening Night. You CAN be a real, productive, prolific, successful artist.

Together we will make ‘it’ happen.

BYO all everything you need to work on your project. Bulky items like Easels, water containers, etc, and Tea/coffee are provided.

Four Saturdays – Oct 5, 19, Nov 9, and 23

Time: 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM

Where: Manly West, Brisbane (full address provided in the confirmation email after booking).

Learn a new way to practise mindfulness by turning your favourite pictures or drawings into block prints. For me, the focus and concentration required to hand-card a block, before printing, is very relaxing. I also love the process of making multiple copies of the one design.

You’ll learn how to turn any image into a bold design full of contrast and pattern. I will guide you through every step from the initial design to the finished product.

Blocking printing is a versatile process that you could continue to do at home because you don’t need a lot of space or an expensive Printing Press…and you will be able to use the block you make during this session again and again as a bespoke stamp to produce more Art prints, unique greeting cards or create collage elements for your other Art projects.

This workshop is for you if:

1. you’re a complete beginner looking for an exciting creative experience.
2. you remember doing a linocut at school and want to re-engage with this simple but effective printmaking process.
3. block printing is already something you do but you want to learn ways to take what you know to a whole new level.
4. you’re looking for a relaxing way to spend a Saturday afternoon, mingling with people who also know the value of taking time out for some creative self-care.

Take your inspiration from Nature (images supplied) or you are welcome to bring images on another topic. You’ll be guided and supported a little or a lot depending on your wishes, and offered honest advice and feedback so that by the end of the session, you’ll have a finished artwork ready to frame and a hand-carved block to keep (and re-use).

You’ll love the process of block printing because we all need to make time to breathe, relax and (like in life) carve away the parts that are not needed and keep the parts you like.

What’s included:

1. Your choice of one 11 x 11 cm double-sided square block OR one 15cm round double-sided block to carve during the session (and keep forever).
2. All materials and equipment.
3. Step-by-step instructions.
4. Organisational ideas and advice on resources you need to set up your home studio.
5. Tea/coffee and light snacks.
6. An apron for use on the day.
7. Relaxing Music.
8. Lots of photos that I will share with you upon request.
9. Clean up – it’s all taken care of for you.
