Art Therapy Workshop Calendar 2025

Two days of deep creativity, self-discovery & connection. A 2-day immersive art + art therapy experience where children explore advanced artmaking & reflective practices to create meaningful works for the Flying High Exhibition.

Skills they’ll gain:

• Resin art & embedding nature into form
• Line drawing & composition techniques
• Mixed media painting
• Exploring symbolism & storytelling in art
• Advanced use of colour, texture & layering

Conceptual focus:

• Build resilience & inner strength
• Learn to communicate and honour their emotions
• See the world through many perspectives
• Develop deep peer connections in a safe, supportive space
• Practice breathwork, visualisation and meditation techniques

In this heartwarming workshop, children will explore the concept of hope – what does it mean to hope and how their voices can be used to uplift others and become part of a shared vision for a brighter, more compassionate world. They will create their own unique floating lantern using the 3-dimensional collage techniques. Children will explore how patterns, shapes and texture can combine to make a visually dynamic piece. Each lantern carries a personal wish, affirmation, or vision for a better world – designed to be a light in dark times. When displayed together, these glowing creations form a breathtaking mural of individuality, unity, and possibility — a space where each child’s light joins with others to form a collective constellation of hope.

Workshop Outcomes

• Learn to see themselves as part of a collective vision while celebrating their individuality.
• Deepen emotional literacy by exploring their inner wishes, strengths, and dreams.
• Explore diversity and inclusion by celebrating that each lantern is different, yet can exist in harmony.
• Strengthen creative expression and mixed media artmaking through layered collage techniques.
• Experience a sense of agency — understanding that their voice, when expressed, can contribute to a more hopeful and compassionate world.
