Saturday 28 February | Sensory Earth

Creating mandalas through nature’s elements: This workshop offers a rich, multi-sensory art experience that celebrates the beauty, rhythm, and balance of the natural world.

Guided by the textures, colours, and patterns found in nature, participants will experiment with a variety of art materials and natural elements to create their own mixed media mandalas.

Exploring themes of growth, transformation, and renewal, the workshop connects deeply with the spirit of the current exhibitions and the creative process itself. It is an invitation to mindfulness, creativity, and connection; both with the earth and with your own artistic expression.

Saturday 28 March | Sculpting memory and transformation

This workshop invites participants to use art materials like foil, tape, plaster bandage and paints to create expressive sculptures that tell stories of memory, growth, and change. Participants are encouraged to play with texture and form, through moulding, wrapping, and shaping materials to create unique figures, natural or abstract forms.
