Hi ,

The holiday season is here! Whether you’re taking a quiet moment for yourself or spending time with loved ones, I hope your days are full of fun, natural colour, (getting outside!), connection and ... maybe a little creative play?

If you find a moment between celebrations, even a few brushstrokes can make the week brighter.

This is a glimpse into a fun Christmas coloured project I did with a group of carers one December - a joint collaborative project (it was 12 small canvases painted together as one over a couple of hours, and then each person took one home after adding a few personalising touches with stick-ons. I've met some of the group since, and like me, they pull that artwork out for display each Christmas season. 

Perhaps you could create a larger one with your family to admire (and add to it each year.) 

Wishing you a peaceful and happy holiday!

P.S. If your 50% off code is still waiting, use it now! Even Van Gogh started somewhere — see what in the shop sparks your next creation. (Welcome50) 

NB: The 50% off code will only apply to my Bundle until the end of the year. After that, it will apply to individual products only (any purchased in the same transaction). Prices will also increase to $25 per product and $50 per Bundle — still great value, just not extra discounted with the code.

So, if you know you’ll be giving my process a go with your groups next year, grab the discount now — either today or when next week’s email lands on the 30th.

This week's blog post is How Can You Run a Collaborative Art Project for After-School Clubs? Inspired by the many projects I have done in after school, OSHC (Out of school hours care, the cumbersome term used in Australia), Holiday or Vacation Care programs, where my three stage process easily slots into a day of activities, stages across a few days or even weeks.
