How To Get Creative

How To Get Creative

This workshop is about how we can use art to engage with community activity. Participants will experiment with a variety of artistic materials to explore ideas in an open, relaxed environment.

Building on their learning by doing, participants will begin to think about how they can use art and culture as a social tool within their community.

The ‘How To Get Creative’ session is a great place to come together and play with art materials, make pictures and talk about how creativity can be used within our communities. It’s a very open session where people can gain confidence with art making skills.

The only real structure is time allocated to experimenting with different techniques and what you produce is totally up to you! It’s a relaxed space where people who work or want to work in the community, can play with materials and share ways we can all connect through creativity.
