Unleash your creativity and explore the therapeutic benefits of art with our "Collaging with Colour" workshop. This unique and immersive experience invites you to dive into the world of collaging while harnessing the power of colour to express your emotions, thoughts, and inner world. Join us for a transformative journey of self-discovery through art.

Workshop Highlights:

1. Colour as Expression: Colour has a profound impact on our emotions and can be a powerful tool for self-expression. In this workshop, you'll learn how to select and apply colours that resonate with your feelings and experiences, allowing your collages to convey your innermost thoughts in a visually striking way.

2. Collage Techniques: Our experienced art therapist and instructor will guide you through various collage techniques, including cutting, layering, and composition. You'll have the opportunity to experiment with different materials, textures, and patterns to create unique and meaningful artworks.

3. Self-Exploration: Through guided prompts and exercises, you'll embark on a journey of self-exploration. Discover how colour choices and collage elements can represent your personal narrative, memories, and aspirations. This process can lead to greater self-awareness and a deeper connection with your inner world.

4. Group Sharing: Sharing your collages with fellow participants either verbally or non-verbally, can be a profoundly enriching experience. It provides an opportunity for reflection, empathy, and connection as you gain insight into the diverse stories and emotions expressed through art.

5. Art Therapy Guidance: Our certified art therapist will be on hand to offer support, encouragement, and insights throughout the workshop. They will create a safe and nurturing environment for your creative exploration.

6. Materials Provided: All necessary art supplies, including a variety of colorful paper, magazines, scissors, glue, and more, will be provided. Just bring your curiosity and an open heart.
