Workshop of creativity
A colourful and creative day awaits the Somerset community with the upcoming ‘Let’s Make Art’ Creative and Social Day, a special event taking place on Thursday, 8 May 2025, from 9:30am to 2:30pm in Lowood.
Proudly supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund—a partnership between the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and Somerset Regional Council—the event is designed to bring locals together through creativity, connection, and community spirit.
This inspiring day offers participants the chance to take part in one of three hands-on art workshops, guided by local artists and tailored to all skill levels—no previous experience required, just a desire to have fun, learn something new, and socialise.
Workshop options include: ‘Still Life in Watercolour – Botanical Style’ with Cassandra Hodgins, ‘Duck in Pastel’ with Karen Leahy, and ‘Sugar Glider on a Banksia in Coloured Pencil on Pastel Mat’ with Marita Reynold.
The event will be held at the Open Door Gallery (45 Railway Street) and the Lion’s Den, with a $20 entry fee that includes all materials and a catered lunch.
Places are strictly limited and bookings are essential. Payment secures your booking, and dietary requirements should be noted at the time of reservation.
To book a spot, contact Marita on 0425 735 581.
Let me know when you're ready for the next one!
