Self- Expressive Art Classes

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Mornings 10.30 to 12.30 NSW 

$40 per session or $150 for a block of 4 sessions

For absolute beginners, and adults just wanting to start back up with a creative endeavour after a long break from it all.

These classes are aimed at adults of all ages, who I meet on a daily basis that look at me with fear when I suggest they come and play with pencils and paints, but in their hearts KNOW they would love to have a go. I hold morning self-expressive art classes for any adult who would love to find an unpretentious, relaxing and nonthreatening, space to have fun with all different kinds of art mediums. I will take you back to basics and work on simple easy things that help unlock the right hand creative side of our brains. I will gentle guide you into using different art materials and mediums and work with you at your level and take you wherever you would like to go with the creative process.

Those who attend these sessions not only learn great new techniques to expand their creative work and endeavours but learn new ways to promote their mental health and well being. it is a space to build on positive emotions and resilience while following their intuition and learning to trust that they have all that they need within them to build a life of ease and flow. A place where they can gain greater self mastery and self awareness and insight through the many different art mediums on offer. The desire is that anyone that leaves feels a whole lot happier than when you arrived and leave with a skip in your walk and a smile on your face bigger and wider.

All materials are there for you to use apart from box canvas  if needed and I also ask you supply your own gel mediums and impasto textures for the acrylic painting sessions. but brushes and tools and paints are available for use.

Spaces in each class are limited. It is a requirement that anyone who wishes to attend messages me  by 9 am on the same morning they wish to attend.

Join me at the Studio for a morning of self-expression for higher needs NDIS participants, who require a support person to attend. Over the year I have met many who may require that little bit more attention when it comes to getting their creative on. These session are  all inclusive  where anything goes.! Painting, drawing, crafting, clay work, collage easel work you name it I have it here for  you to play with, and some mornings we have used it ALL. This session has been set up to assist those NDIS participants who need more hands on help and attention from me and the help of  their support person. It is a great space for social support and community participation. There is much laughter and playfulness on these mornings.

All materials are included except box canvas ( if this is used an addition charge will be made)

I require 48 hours notice for cancellation. (please note if you do not turn up on the day you have pre booked into and have not cancelled your session within 48 hours then you will be invoiced for the missed session)  I usually have a wait list for these sessions and by not showing up i have had to turn someone else away that may need the session, so please be respectful of my space and time.
