Sunday, 10 May · 10:00 am — 12:00 pm
Melbourne Central Skybridge
Limited to 7 spots
Materials: Provided OR bring your own

Create charming, patterned girls using a playful mix of washi tapes, collage elements, and watercolour!

This 2-hour mixed-media workshop is perfect for beginners and anyone who loves character art, cute aesthetics, or creative layering.

You’ll learn how to combine simple shapes, patterned tapes, and loose watercolour washes to create expressive girls filled with personality.

We’ll explore layering, balance, colour harmony, and how to let collage guide your imagination.

Bring your curiosity — all materials are provided, or you’re welcome to bring your favourite washi tapes, papers, or brushes if you prefer.

You’ll walk away with:

• A finished mixed-media artwork of your patterned girl

Come relax, create, and enjoy a gentle morning of art-making with supportive guidance.
