WELCOME to a RELAXED CREATIVE SPACE. Alannah offers interactive Card Making & Paper Craft workshops with more ART in Bracken Ridge QLD 4017. MISSION STATEMENT To inspire and encourage the 'creativist' within you. WORKSHOP vs CLASS? A 'class' is mostly about the teacher imparting information to a group of seated individuals, but a workshop is about YOU...offering you an opportunity to move about an atelier (studio), experiencing and using different tools and products, learning techniques with step-by-step guidance, exploring your creativity and most importantly, a shared enjoyment in a relaxed environment. WHY MAKE A CARD? The simple joy of creating something by hand and the positive energy infused into each handmade card, makes it a unique and personal gift, and a joy to receive . Link HERE for more information about card making.WHERE? Workshops are held at a private residence located at 21 Greendale Place, Bracken Ridge QLD (North Brisbane) Only those with a confirmed booking may attend. For more information please get in touch. HOW MUCH? Card making workshopsfrom $15.00 per crafter. Individual workshop prices will be advertised on this home page, including what to bring.WHAT TO BRING? If it's your first time at a workshop you don't have to bring anything as Alannah provides a basic kit for you to borrow on the day. Specific tools or materials used in workshops are listed when advertised. Please BYO if you have them if you don't wish to share in-house tools. Adhesives are not included in the workshop materials provided. DURATION? Please allow 2 hours for a workshop if you're experienced. Allow up to 3 hours if you're a beginner or 'slow' crafter. On occasion, hours may be extended to cater to those who 'slow-craft', allowing extra time to complete the days' advertised project. 'Mooching', however, is frowned upon and is unfair to other crafters. CALENDAR & BOOKINGS Please refresh the calendar regularly and remember to reserve your workshop spot by booking ahead.

The relaxed creative space and what's in it...
Lots of room for crafty enjoyment in this relaxed creative space.
Brightly lit and spacious, there's generous room at each spot, set with an A3-size cutting mat, A4 scratch paper, a small waste bin and a drink coaster. Chairs have armrests and a pillow for extra comfort. Easy listening music is piped through wall-mounted speakers and reverse-cycle air-conditioning adds to the pleasant ambience. There's also a television mounted for all seated crafters to easily view, either displaying workshop instructions or available workshop projects. All the messy stuff takes place at ergonomic (standing height) benches, dedicated for ink blending, heat setting, die cutting or embossing. A small 'shop' area includes regularly used consumable items and a small selection of tools. Coffee, Tea and light refreshment provided FREE at all workshops.  |
Yes you can...even if you think you can't.Somewhere along your craft path you may have heard the term "You can't teach creativity!" Alannah truly believes everyone is creative even if they think they aren't. It's all about giving it a go, embracing 'mistakes', exploring random gatherings of thought and understanding technique. The more something is understood the more tempting it is to try it. Alannah's workshops always include one or more techniques with step-by-step guidance. There's even a dedicated Technique Tuesday (twice each month) where you'll get to play with different tools and products and learn some interesting techniques to enhance your card making experience. Plus you'll take home finished cards using those techniques. READ MORE Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes - Art is knowing which ones to keep. Let's get creative and make some Art along the way! Interested? Please visit the calendar page for dates that best suit you. Bookings essential. |
