In a recent Workshop, younger mermaids had a wonderful time collaging the first letter of their name. There was much squealing and excitement when the buttons, rhinestones and other bling came out.
Mermaid Spirit Art Workshops are designed primarily for girls 6-12 years old.
In our society, girls are constantly bombarded with messages that undermine their confidence. This happens at a crucial time when they are forming their self- identity and are seeking validation from society.
Through the workshops, I aim to harness the girls' natural creativity and provide them with a means of self-expression as well as a safe refuge.
Mermaids are free to create in a safe and supportive environment using mixed media techniques: drawing, painting, collage, stamping and more.
The main intention is to uplift the girls through art play, to nurture their spirit and self-esteem and create a sense of empowerment.
