Colour, Emotion and Creativity with Janine Oxley
£15.00 pp
Saturday 24th May 11:00am-1:30pm
A creative session playing with words and collage to explore how colours can reflect and prompt emotion. Participants will be able to freely create through this process of exploration without the pressure to produce a final piece. Any work can be taken home to develop further. A selection of materials will be provided – including pens/pastels/paint for mark making, plain paper, fabric, scissors, glue. Please feel free to bring your own materials for personal use or to share with others in the group. It would be great if participants brought with them an object or item of clothing (or wear one!)in their favourite colour.
