Facilitators Annie Roberts facilitated a Self Portrait workshop and Margot Grant lead a Mixed Media workshop. Both workshops are part of a series of Free workshops sponsored by Northern Rivers Community Fund. “Creative Workshops for Wellbeing, Resilience and Conservation. All participants enjoyed learning new skills and enjoyed the friendships and connectivity with community members. Last Sunday friends, family and community members came to view these stunning artworks. Well done everyone involved.
This was the third of seven Free Creative workshops of our project “Creative Workshops for Wellbeing, Resilience and Conservation” offered to the community funded by NRCF. Margot Grant , well known local artist facilitated this workshop at the end of March. Great to see new techniques and skills learned as well as friendships.
The Margots workshop participants will be exhibiting their work at Iluka Emporium during the month of May
Our project ‘Creative Workshops for Wellbeing, Resilience and Conservation’ funded by NRCF (Northern Rivers Community Fund) offered 2 workshops in March. The first one “Portraits – More than a Likeness” was facilitated by local artist Annie Roberts. As can be seen by these images, a very positive experience and outcome was enjoyed by all participants.
