Art for Wellness with Justine - creating connections through creativity

As a mother, farmer’s wife and passionate advocate for art in our community, I believe creativity has a wonderful way of bringing people together, building confidence and supporting wellbeing.

Through Makers Space, I would like to warmly invite children, young artists and members of our community
into a shared, safe and welcoming space where they can explore, learn and create through art in all its forms.

Friday afternoons, for children aged 6-12, will offer a creative space where young artists will explore and create, and enjoy a relaxed time to unwind after a busy school week.

I’ll provide a range of art and craft activities designed to encourage children to slow down, have fun and enjoy the wellness benefits of being creative.

We will explore different art activities while giving children the freedom to experiment, make choices and discover their own unique creativity. There will be no pressure to create something ‘perfect’ — just an opportunity to play, explore, connect and enjoy the process.

I look forward to creating, connecting and sharing the joy of art with our children and our wider community.
