A wonderful winter morning in Oak with a creative group fully immersed in screen printing over their previous marbling work.

This mixed-media project combined colour, texture, and printmaking, creating beautiful and unique results while inviting experimentation and self-expression. Most importantly, it left everyone feeling uplifted, proud, and accomplished.

There is something truly special about seeing creativity bring people together, build confidence, and spark moments of joy. Big thank you to , , , and for their support in making these opportunities possible and happy to have as part of the team, sharing her creativity, skills, and passion for helping others discover the simple joy of making.

We marbled paper with our fabulous Dementia Auckland West group at Corban Estate Arts Centre today, and it’s a process that never ceases to amaze! We’ve introduced this technique to many groups, but it’s always such a pleasure to see people’s fascination and delight as those beautiful patterns emerge 🤩 Our thanks, as ever, to for supporting these sessions.
