Making Space ~ Space Making: Nature Based Expressive Arts Circle

Seasons of Self is facilitating a monthly women's creative circle inspired by the beauty, awe, and wonder of nature.

Nature is a teacher.
She unfolds her treasures to our search,
unseals our eyes,
illumes our minds,
and purifies our hearts.
- Alfred Billings Street

Making Space ~ Space Making sessions will take place from 6pm - 8pm on the second Wednesday of each month. Each event is ticketed seperately. You can opt to attend one or more.

Wednesday 8 October (6-8pm): Make your Mark: nature brushes & ink
Create your own nature brushes from foraged, found and upcycled materials. Experiment with mark making inspired by landscape and animal features. 

Wednesday 12 November (6-8pm): Nature Cycles: mixed media, slow stitching
Explore cycles in nature. Adorn a circular fabric background with natural elements using slow stitching techniques. 

Wednesday 10 December (6-8pm): Feeling Festive
Make a decorative ornament with locally gathered pine needles. Alternatively, learn how to make twine from upcycled fabric scraps, a great eco friendly alternative to wrap gifts.

Making Space ~ Space Making is all about:

Making room for creative expression
Nature-based expressive art is anchored in the creative process (as opposed to any final product). The goal is to slow down, attune the senses and adopt a playful approach to making. We'll explore different creative processes and mediums each month but always taking our inspiration from nature. There will be time for individual making and group discussion.

Making time for yourself
Carve out a couple of hours mid-week to reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

Making space to connect with others in a safe, supportive, and relaxed setting. A community of women who share a love of nature. Enjoy cups of tea and equally warming conversations.

All materials will be provided.
You are welcome to bring your own art/nature journal if you have one, but this is not a requirement.

We'll gather in the Mingle Community Space located at 3 Klaus Moje St, Whitlam. There is plenty of parking across the road from the community building and sales office. Make your way toward the sales office and up the steps to the community space. Please allow sufficient time for wayfinding, parking and settling into the space for a 6pm start.
