Intuitive Collage is a relaxing and highly therapeutic art medium; it’s a great tool to process difficult feelings, quieten the mind, and elicit a state of deep relaxation, with the subsequent relief of stress and anxiety. In addition, it allows self-expression for those with no prior experience in the arts. For creatives, however, Collage can be uniquely inspiring and means of artistic exploration.
Participants are encouraged to be spontaneous and intuitive; This creative process is flowing, forgiving, and without technical challenges. This course runs in an inclusive, relaxing, and supportive manner and has a non-judgmental approach – there is no right or wrong; it’s all about individual aesthetic preferences.

I run workshops for all ages, at schools and holiday programs, for community organizations, and anything from large events to small intimate groups.

Get in touch if you’d like to book a group workshop, in person or online.
