Our mission is to keep kids creative sparkle alive.

Sensitivity, artistic flair, quirkiness and all things vibrant can often be undervalued in our society. So what does that do? It gets LOST!

Ever wonder why adults become so stressed, uptight or dull? Well it's because their creative SELF is lost in an underworld of expectation, perfectionism and overachievementITIS.

Gather Make Art is the antidote. A fresh and inclusive space for families to create either at home (online) or at in-person events or workshops. Expect art that's meaningful, unique, inspired by nature and FUN.

 

 

 

Projects and Themes explored include:

  • Visual Journals

  • Process based exploration of colour and story

  • Creative self

  • Imaginative landscapes

  • Seasonal nature observation

  • FUN with making our own paper dolls, lanterns or stop-motion animation.

    *All of this with a sprinkling of REAL FINE ART SKILLS such as perspective, design principles, drawing and painting techniques.

Gather Make Art is a space for creativity, curiosity and courage.

It is a space where we come together to form something unique and express our authenticity.
