Collage for Calm with Michelle Le Plastrier

Join us for our October Creative & Connected series: a bright and bold collage workshop suitable for all ages and abilities.

Led by multidisciplinary artist Michelle Le Plastrier, adults and kids alike will love cutting, tearing, sticking and arranging different colours and textures to create a vibrant paper pattern artwork to keep.

Stay for a little while or take your time, while enjoying the workshop in the beautiful Artist Corner space at the Helensvale and Upper Coomera Libraries.

WELLBEING BENEFITS:

Mood and Emotional Uplift: Boosts mood through colour and creativity while creating a visual anchor for emotional regulation.
Creative Confidence and Self-Expression: Encourages self-expression without perfectionism, building confidence through intuitive making and free form approaches of collaging.
