MAKE A FUNNY FACE

Ballooning To Safety
creating mixed media explorations
This is the safe space for us but not for the magazines. We’ll use collage, drawing, stamping of text and image to create the expressive freedom we require. Our efforts will be janky, wonky, awful and funny.

Participants capped at eight per session
All Materials Provided
1.5 hrs
WITH EVERY TOOL WE HAVE
Building Men & Monsters
With the aim of creative collaboration and connection, we will gather a group of men (self-identified / socially identified) to explore expression via guided drawing, acknowledging the monsters within ourselves and the monsters that extend from us into the world.
Join me in an intimate and intimidating two hour round table workshop where pencils will glide across papers with equal measures of humour and pain, revealing and releasing communally created monsters - monsters safely contained on the page.
CW discussion of violence, abuse, grief, toxicity, sexism, racism, homophobia
Adults
Participants capped at 4 per session.
All Materials Provided
2 hrs
PRESENTATIONS
Encountering Collections
I am delighted to showcase pieces from my many collections of found paper ephemera in diverse thematic categories. Postcards, found photos, matchbooks, flyers, paper scraps, street art can be shared directly in intimate gatherings or as slideshow presentations. I speak on the history of these items as cultural traces, as personal touchstones and as objects of beauty.
All Ages / Parents & Kids / Adults / Seniors
Participants TBD no cap
1 hr
Participation Fee TBD private events OR public presentations
STUDIO VISITS & WALKS
CREATIVE BLOCK STUDIO VISITS
I’d love to visit your studio and see what you’ve got going and what you don’t got going! I’m sure I can help you to unravel the tangle and get those creative sparks flying. Collaborative one-on-one creative play on your turf. You can also give me a virtual tour and we can work together in public if that’s preferred. Preliminary Zoom introduction to establish needs.

AROUND THE BLOCK
Catch me out and about as we sift through litter and street art, navigating through streets and alleys leaving our own traces and reimagining the city as a creative laboratory. Neighbourhood Storytelling will occur.
