Saturday 3 October | Collective cards

Participants will create a collection of mixed media self-cards that explore personal expression using collage, layered textures, mark-making, found imagery, and fragments of text.

Combining recycled materials, photographs, paint, symbols, and experimental creative techniques, each card becomes a unique visual composition that reflects individuality, emotion, imagination, and the experience of connecting with the world around us.

About the facilitator

Art is a way of knowing, of understanding oneself and forming threads of connection to the inner world within each of us.

Tira Dowling has followed this thread of curiosity throughout her career. She is passionate about the relationship to self and guiding others to discover these threads of knowing within them.

Tira has explored many areas of the globe to wonder, consider and learn about herself, other cultures, and the world we inhabit. As a therapist, Tira invites participants into an accepting, warm creative space to discover and witness their own creativity and lived experience.

Connection, autonomy, community, curiosity, wonder and fun are key aspects of Tira's practice. A deep-seated passion for selfhood and growth is woven into creative engagements, whether in individual or group sessions.
