Children's Collage Workshop: Piles of Pooches
CREATIVE PAINTED PAPER COLLAGE WORKSHOP:
A step by step style workshop.
We will complete a ready to hang image based on Fi's design 'Piles of Pooches'. Use Fi's work as inspiration and her helpful shape selection buffet to create dogs that look like yours! Tell a story, add your own ideas and make it ready for gifting or keeping.
Art teachers everywhere often use Fi's work as inspiration for their classroom projects. Your child might already know of Fi's work via school.

WHAT WE DO:
Collage is a great medium to develop our art skills.
This session is designed to be ‘light’ and ‘playful’ and fully accessible for all levels, it’s prime objective is to build creative confidence and learn some new useful skills for further independent self expression.
Sessions are suited and adjusted to all kinds of kids and young people - from those who might like/ need/ want a step by step, supported approach to those who like to bring in their own ideas and work more independently. Fi adjusts her presentation to each participants age/experience/needs.
ABOUT FI AND HER EXPERIENCE:
Fi is a Margaret River Artist who is passionate about sharing, strengthening and developing creative thinking across her community. She has experience in creating bespoke and general workshop concepts both in person and online and has been teaching them for the past 10 years.
She has broad experience working with a diverse range of adults with all levels of experience and with all different needs and intentions. All her workshops are based on her own practice and the tools she uses and the way she has learnt to think about art making as a professional full time artist.
She has also worked with those living with a disability and has designed set ups just for special needs.
She works with those lacking confidence and those who are looking to work at developing their own ideas towards a professional practice.
Primary school art teachers love using her work as inspiration in their own classes and
her work has now been used as inspiration by art teachers all over the world!
This children's workshop session is a unique occasion to bring kids who love making art into a work space with an experienced and sensitive artist and skilled teacher. It offers more freedom to create than a traditional school class setting, an environment where everyone is enthusiastic about art and it gives more opportunity to learn from an artist who wants every child to embrace the joys of self expression thru the creative arts - without having to feel they need to get it right or that there is a grade attached to their work.
In recent years Fi has loved working with the the Art Gallery of WA education wing to run workshops with art loving kids in the city. She has created these sessions to compliment her Wander Out Yonder travelling exhibition, celebrating WA’s unique flora and fauna, working to build a greater respect and value for our local natural environments and at the same time strengthening our own creative confidence.
Fi and one assistant will supervise kids.
Working with children permits are in place.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:
BYO snacks and water (this can be thirsty and hungry work!).
Please arrive 15 mins early. It’s important not to stress out on our way to art - so please plan your time to not rush.
Adults are not able to attend unless prearranged, but we encourage you to enjoy the garden space outside the studio.
Parents will need to leave their mobile number and sign a drop off form before departing.
