What you'll do

Looking for ways to spend quality time with your mum or daughter? Join this collage art class in Adelaide!

Head on a creative journey together by engaging in a series of drawing exercises assessing shape, colour and line to discover what motifs you love.

Inspiration will come from the gorgeous native garden, Frolic and Flo, a classic 1950s beach shack and still life "setups" inside. You will also be inspired by a range of ideas from some of the collage greats including Matisse, Hannah Hoch, Basquiat, Barbara Kruger, and Sophie Taeuber.

The collage making process includes creating your own papers through your mark-making and/or choosing your papers from the colour and print-coded collage palette trays.

If you would like to include text, you will be invited to engage in a writing exercise with a range of prompts such as a phrase or motto that defines your connection, a nickname for us, or a poem reflecting a shared memory. You can use stencils for text, choose from text provided or of course write your own.

By the end of the course, you can take home your finished masterpiece, as well as fond memories with your loved one!

Since childhood I have been curious about nature, its beauty and its mysteries. Always curious, I explored 2D art works but felt the need to understand how things are ‘put together’ in a more 3D sense, so I studied Jewellery Design at University of South Australia.

This sparked a lifelong journey into creativity and the desire to share this joy with others, so I studied Teaching at Flinders University and have been teaching in both Primary and High School, in mainly Design and Technology and Visual Arts for over 20 years.

Later my love of nature and need to create in a sustainable way lead me to fulfil Master of Sustainable Design also at University of South Australia. This deep knowledge underpins my focus on my entire practice.

I count 2013 as my award winning year! I won the SALA Jam Factory Design Award and the won the Gorgeous Festival Award, woohoo!

In 2021, I had a heartbreaking year where my capacity to function well as Primary school teacher had reached breaking point. I was lucky enough to live adjacent to the Aldinga Scrub and found myself there daily, drawing the gnarly trees as an immediate creative salve. That action of always asking ‘What next’ in my practice led me full circle back to the safe harbour of 2D work. I also chose to work part-time in High Schools only focusing in the Arts or Design and Technology.

I had a brief stint of offering classes to children and adults in the mid 2000’s and offered mark making classes at frolic and flo: mid-century breach shack at the beginning of 2024. I am super excited to begin offering classes to Mum’s and Daughters in collage as a way to deepen their bonds and to explore their creativity together.
