In this 2 hour art workshop, participants will get their hands foamy and learn how to marble paper in beautiful colours! The sheets will dry and then be used to create various types of flowers. There will be stencils and flower references available as well as plenty of imagination. These blooms will be collected to create a collaborative community artwork. We will also include additional art tools: sponges, construction paper, and acryclic paints.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have learned the skill of marbling paper and take a small flower bloom home with them.
The workshop will begin with a short guided, mindfulness practice to help settle into the space. We will share what spring and summer means to us. Then we'll get creative and our hands soapy!
This workshop is open to all ages and no previous art-making experience is required.
Please wear/bring a top you do not mind getting messy as we will be using staining materials.
This workshop is useful for:
- Mindfulness and well-being
- Fostering connection through art making
- Community engagement
- Tactile, creative expression
All required materials will be provided on the day of the workshop. Pre-registration is required as space is limited per group.
