Layers of My Life Winter 2025

Visually represent your history

We are all ‘Layer Cakes’, made up of the stories and influences of our ancestors, plus our experiences, influences, and ways of growing through life.

Some layers are familiar to us – they are visible now to us and perhaps to others. Some layers are buried beneath those that have followed over the years. This 3-hour workshop will allow you to reflect and respond in a way that can help you integrate your own layers symbolically and visually.

You may find inspiration, intuition, and inclusion spontaneously occur.

Join me, Helen Nandlal, at my studio in the Perth Hills for a dive into the layers of your life in this workshop, Layers of My Life. Over three hours you'll have the opportunity to explore the layers you have collected and leave with an art-piece (I promise, you don't need to know how to do art!) which will provoke your own further exploration.

We'll have fun and might get messy, so wear comfortable clothes. And bring your curiousity.

What you can expect

Safe, quiet, judgement-free surroundings.

All art materials are provided.

Comfortable surroundings.

Tea, coffee, and GF biscuits.

A group setting where you can share as much or as little as you like.

But I’m not an artist!

Neither am I! You don’t need to be. Arts therapy uses the arts to help you get out  of your head and into your body. You make meaning via the artwork you create. You can see the meaning and that’s what is important. The ‘quality’ of the artwork is irrelevant.
