IMAGES of the IMAGINATION WORKSHOP
DATE: TBC
TIME: 10am - 4pm
COST: $160
About the Workshop
This workshop is designed to help you unlock your imagination through a specific, guided technique.
We begin with brief warm-up exercises to familiarise you with the process,
followed by longer sittings to allow your subconscious to reveal the beginnings of an image.
Using a blend of reference material and your creativity, we develop a detailed drawing as a foundation for your painting.
From there, we embark on the painting journey. I work with each participant individually,
supporting you at your own pace as we explore ideas of colour, style, and technique.
Demonstrations are provided to ensure a clear understanding of the applications.
You’re welcome to join the Extra Art Class (details below) to continue working on your painting if needed.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave not only with a completed or near-completed painting
but also with a wealth of ideas and inspiration for future creations.
Materials list on enrolment.

MANDALA WORKSHOP
DATE: Sunday 27th April 2025
TIME: 10am - 4pm
COST: $160
The Mandala invites you on a profound inner journey.
Rooted in the ancient Tibetan tradition, this practice serves as a powerful prelude to meditation.
Painting a Mandala opens the gateway to your higher self,
activating intuition and fostering compassion, love, peace, and tranquility.
As you work on your Mandala, you gradually integrate with it, embodying the essence of Oneness.
My own understanding of Mandalas has been deeply enriched under the guidance of Lama Tendar, a Tibetan Lama.
This workshop also embraces the use of symbols from various traditions,
allowing students to connect with their ancestral lineage and create a Mandala that resonates personally.
A materials list will be provided upon enrolment.
