Workshop | 'Fun Facades' a workshop for creatives living with disability
Wednesday 13 May, 10.30am – 12.30pm
This tactile collage workshop invites participants with disability to explore ideas of play through hands-on making. Drawing inspiration from the iconic face of Luna Park Sydney, participants will create their own ‘Fun Facade’, reimagining playful entrances, characters and environments.
Working with accessible, textured materials, participants are encouraged to experiment with layering, cutting, tearing and assembling to build expressive and imaginative surfaces. The workshop centres sensory and creative exploration rather than technical skill or realism, inviting participants to respond to colour, texture and form in intuitive ways.
Collages might take the shape of faces, entrances, abstract structures or imagined places, shaped by individual interests and ways of working. Materials include cardboard bases, coloured and textured papers, fabric and felt, foil, stickers, yarn, foam shapes, glue and tape.
The workshop is designed to be supportive, open-ended and playful, creating space for experimentation, enjoyment and self-expression. Book your spot through the link in bio!
