Creative Space @ headspace

We have a new group starting at headspace Knox, Creative Space @ headspace. It’s an open social group for young people 12- 25. Through the ‘open studio approach’ young people have the opportunity to engage in self-directed art making and exploration in a relaxed setting, directives will be on offer to navigate stuckness but the emphasis with be on group interaction, the idea being to connect and co-create. No art experience necessary and young people are free to be in the space and not engage in art making if it’s not resonating that day.

Attached is the flyer with more information and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
