Women Who Make invites you to an online creative workshop exploring mixed-media collage through play, experimentation and process.

Join us for a relaxed and playful online workshop designed to help you step away from everyday pressures and reconnect with your creative spirit.

This session focuses on process over product. Rather than aiming for a perfect finished piece, you’ll be invited to explore what happens when you give yourself permission to play, experiment and create without expectation.

Working in a simple grid format, we’ll create six small abstract mixed-media collages at the same time. Using whatever materials you have to hand – collage papers, paint, charcoal, pens or pencils – you’ll layer, tear, draw and respond intuitively, allowing the work to evolve naturally.

There’s no set outcome. Instead, we’ll embrace the unexpected and discover where the process leads.

The session will be recorded, and a link will be shared with all registered attendees after the workshop.

What to Expect:
✔ A guided, process-led approach to creative making
✔ Time to experiment with mixed-media techniques
✔ Encouragement to play, take risks and let go of perfection
✔ Space to explore creativity as a tool for wellbeing and reflection

No experience is necessary – just a willingness to explore.

A suggested materials list will be shared in advance so you can prepare for the session.

Whether you're an artist, maker or simply looking for time to switch off and try something new, this workshop offers a space to slow down, create and reconnect.
