THE ART CLASS WHERE YOU GET TO TAKE BACK YOUR CRAYONS!

FOR WOMEN OF THE GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA

AU$35 per class

Come create this gorgeous loose watercolour dragonfly with me at my next class at Burleigh Waters Community Centre.
25 Sept/24 Oct '25

My son was 4 months old when I took back my crayons.

Although I loved my little boy dearly, I longed for something just for me.

'Bring your son to playgroup', a friend said eagerly.
You'll meet other mumsโ€ฆand there's a creative corner - where we make things with our children.โ€™

I'm not sure who enjoyed the creation time more: my son or I.

To be able to press pause on the demands and monotony of day-to-day life and weave the threads of my creative magic again, through this simple act of art making was pure gold.

It was a beautiful space to quiet the mind. A time away from obligations and responsibilities. To connect with others. There was even a little feeling of personal achievement looking at what had been created!

And so I began prioritising my creative me-time daily.
That was 2 decades ago, but over the years, nurturing my creative spirit in this way has become a sacred act.

๐ŸŽจ Making art is a chance to reconnect with my self-expression,
๐ŸŽจ find clarity of mind,
๐ŸŽจ and let inspiration pop in.

Itโ€™s a precious gem which I cannot wait to share with you. 

No matter your stage of life, whether a new mum, newly retired, or in between, this class is for you.

Connect monthly with a beautiful community of other women, where together we chat, and we laugh, as we create.

And as your art teacher, I will open the doors for you to explore different art materials and techniques to come out with something uniquely you.

Knowing that you can โ€˜pick up your crayonsโ€™ at any point to find peace, clarity, or simply play will leave you ready to face the challenges of life, until the next time we meet

-- -- where we get to do it all over again, with glee.

THE KINDS OF THINGS WE CREATE TOGETHER

Hi I'm Lauren. Champion of the creative free-spirit.

As an Art Teacher, and Graphic Designer of 10 years, I know how challenging life can be when your creativity is low.

Over the years, teaching my students new skills has been one thing, but witnessing their free spirits flourish and make an immense difference to their self-expression, has been gold!

There's never any โ€˜rightโ€™ or โ€˜wrongโ€™ way of creating in my art room, only ever that of the individual student.

Spontaneity and eagerness to try new avenues are the order of the day.  This playful rhetoric makes everyone feel relaxed and uninhibited, and the artwork that emerges as a result is awe-inspiring.

I would love to help you unlock your creative potential, build your confidence, and equip you with the skills to create your own art in a way that feels easy and fun.

THE FINER DETAILS

Be surprised and delighted by your creative spirit and my intuitive, playful approach to art-making, where the focus is on progress rather than perfection.

Let your inner child loose and build your self-confidence, with the simple doodle and watercolour pencil activities

Inspired by my love for nature, immerse yourself in the creation of items found in our beautiful natural world

Aimed at ALL skill levels โ€“ even if youโ€™ve never taken an art class before.
