Over the weekend, Zom will share her six secrets of creativity, each building upon the one before. Every secret has a strength that is developed when you live it. Six strengths are needed for creativity ‚ qualities like trust, intuition, courage & playfulness.
Once you know a secret it not only helps to open your creativity,
it also develops one of these necessary companion qualities.
"The Six Secrets of Creativity is the workshop that I wish I could have attended in my early years of being an artist. It takes you on the journey of creativity. It isn't about skills like drawing or painting, it is about theactual process of creativity and how to access it.‚"
It will be a lot of fun and no experience is necessary.

All can be turned into a colourful art piece.

The Art of Paper
MarblingDiscover the ancient art of paper marbling with artist & screen printer, Anne Leon.
Dating back to at least 1000 AD marbled paper was produced in Japan by a method known as suminigashi, or “a pattern formed by floating ink,” which aptly describes the nature of the process.
Marbled paper is created by floating colors on the surface of water, working the colors into patterns, and then transferring the pigments onto a sheet of paper to produce some most beautiful and unique results.
All materials provided.
All workshops run 10am to 5pm.
Bookings + 50% deposit essential ‚tel 6685 5808. (Limited student numbers , 4 students needed to ensure workshop will run.)
