Short Workshop - Hello Gorgeous
Create a framed and ready to hang image of the iconic Red Tailed Black Cockatoo.
Let's get stuck into a short, creative, collage session. Learn about this fantastic medium for beginners (and those with existing creative skills), meet some other like minded people and complete and take home your own ready to hang image at the end of the session.
This session is perfect for small groups of family or friends.
Single participants are welcome to join existing groups.
Raw beginners especially, love these energetic, confidence building sessions.
You'll learn about Fi's process and be inspired to go on to use the process to keep creating.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
This is a follow along step by step collage workshop.
No skills are required, all the tricky bits are taken care of for you, you just need an ability to follow instructions in English and the physical dexterity and eyesight to use scissors and glue.
**We aim to make this workshop as accessible as possible so if you have any physical constraints please let us know in advance and we can tweak the workshop for you.
This is a small group session so Fi is on hand to help you where and when needed.
BOOKING REQUIREMENTS:
Thru out the year - We can create a date especially for your own group if you have a minimum of 4 guests.
Please try to book at least 2 weeks in advance.
If you will attend alone - go on the waiting list or suggest a date. When a space or date is available you can be notified.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO BRING:
Just your own water bottle.
We purchase our frames from large chain stores - stock is not always available - in this case we have a Plan B.
What's Plan B?
**If frames are not available, due to short booking notice or supply, a professional picture mount, with foam core support backing panel and a protective cello bag will be used to mount your image for easy travel and then affordable framing when you arrive home.
This project is completed in the time allocated because we have streamlined the usual process and organised your materials in advance. If you would like to learn more about colour mixing - printing and texture creation we would advise that you instead - book into the Beginners Collage Course. This is a full day course where you will create a larger more complex piece, learn about colour mixing tricks and create all your own papers to use. It too is inspired by one of Fi's designs. ( You'll find three options to choose from on the day). See listing for this course.

"Im giving Fi top marks for this - I can't believe what she manages to get us all to achieve - no fuss, no stress, everything was taken care of and Fi is there to guide you every step of the way. She's a great Artist, a great girl and a great teacher. A really great activity for my sister and I on our weekend away together".
WHAT / WHY / HOW:
Fi has been using the medium of collage to up skill her own approach to painting and illustration.
It allows her to 'recreate' the subjects she works with in her own unique style.
In this session you will learn some of the techniques, materials and ideas involved to continue to create at your own leisure. The colour mixing and paper printing has been done in advance so that you can have a short session. We will use some specially created tools to help you achieve the required outcome.
Everyone's outcome will be unique, and assured under Fi's experienced guidance - why not check out reviews of her workshop sessions on google.
Be reassured, her projects are accessible to all kinds of participants, no matter your age or level of art making experience. The images shown here are all created by our guests who claim that they 'have no creative skills'.
