Create a collaged board representing your dreams and goals or create your own surreal juxtaposition of images and words to make an original artwork (or 3!).
Enjoy an arty afternoon of image making and reflection, taking away a personalised vision board or collage.
This motivating and relaxing art activity helps you explore your dreams, nurture a positive mindset and is a fun way to create an inspiring image from layered up pictures , words and phrases personal to you.
We will have plenty of source material and paper types to sift through, you are welcome to bring any of your own images or photos to add on to your art.

*This workshop is suitable for any ability, you can bring along picture of ideas to get you started, or magazine images for collage if you would like, and we will have plenty available too.

All materials and equipment provided. Soft drinks are provided.
We will be using glue, so bring an apron or painting shirt to protect your clothing.

Some parking is available outside Fairy Croft House, in the market square, or the Common Car park or Swan Meadow carpark are a few minutes walk away.
