About this Event

Step into a space of imagination and discovery with this hands-on collage workshop, led by Belfast-based artist and illustrator Bethany Millican. Using words, images, and chance prompts as starting points, you'll be guided to uncover the hidden symbols and personal narratives that lie within your own inner world.

Collage is an accessible and playful art form that invites us to see meaning in unexpected places and to bring fragments together into something whole. Whether you're completely new to creative practice or already use art in your daily life, this workshop offers an opportunity to slow down, experiment, and connect with your creativity in a supportive environment.

Bethany's work is rooted in poetic symbolism and the everyday magic found in nature and objects. Through drawing, print, poetry, and collage, she shares the belief that meaning can be discovered everywhere when we pay attention. In this workshop, she will guide you in exploring that same spirit of curiosity, helping you create a piece that is uniquely yours.

No previous art experience is needed, just an open mind, a willingness to play, and a curiosity to see what unfolds.
