WHAT / WHY / HOW:
Wander Out Yonder is a project Fi started, to celebrate all the iconic locations around WA and the endemic or typical species found there. Her initial focus on local bird species and the plant life has extended to the geology, mammals, marsupials and ocean life.
She has been using the medium of collage to up skill her own approach to painting and illustration. To hone her observation and composition skills and to build her collection of stories and imagery in a playful and easy way.
The process she will share has helped her express in a playful and light way and has consolidated her own unique style.
Be reassured, her projects are accessible to all kinds of participants, no matter your age or level of art making experience.
It is thru our observation and creativity that we can all learn to appreciate the world at out doorstep and share our own stories about it.
Fi's workshops are designed to be accessible for participants of various abilities and levels of experience.
If you have 4 people that would like to attend you can select a date to suit you. We usually need 2 - 4 weeks advance booking. If a date already exists, you are welcome to join the group if there is space available. If you would like to hear about workshop availability please join our mailing list and keep an eye out on social media channels.
For larger groups or groups in special locations, Fi is happy to design a workshop for your group, this might be suited to a theme or personal ability. Yes we can travel to you. Price on application.
Fi's art experiences are designed to give you a positive and confidence building outcome while introducing you to techniques that you will be able to continue to work with independently. Everything is included unless otherwise stated - no expensive materials lists or purchases to make. They are known for being low stress, joyful occasions and a great way to spend time with a group of friends or family.
We offer workshops for groups of 4 to 8 people at Toot Studio in Margaret River, or 16 people in larger spaces. The number of participants may affect the duration of the workshop. Larger school group sessions will require additional studio assistants to be present (class teachers).
