It doesn't get much more fun than this! My recent abstract art workshop called 'Outside The Box' at Noosa Arts & Crafts was a fantastic weekend jam packed with colour, experimentation and exploration.

We painted, did some gelli printing and collaged our way through 2 days of exploring the notion of thinking and working outside the box - literally!


Check out our amazing work from our full weekend abstract art workshop.


Thank you to everyone who came along to join in the fun and to Wallace House for the invitation to run the workshop in their beautiful space.
