A creative afternoon

We still have a few places available for our Red-tailed Black Cockatoo Feather Watercolour Workshop this Saturday, 10 October, from 2–5pm.

Spend a relaxed afternoon learning to paint a beautiful Red-tailed Black Cockatoo feather in watercolour, guided step-by-step by the artist. No previous experience is needed — just come along, slow down and enjoy being creative.

It’s a lovely opportunity for teenagers and adults, whether you’re looking to try something new, enjoy some creative time with a friend or spend a special afternoon with someone you love.

You’ll create your own A4 archival artwork to take home, along with a How to Paint a Redtail Feather manual so you can continue exploring the technique at home.

Tea, coffee and thoughtfully prepared nibbles are included.

Saturday 10 October
🌻2–5pm
📍 Old Stables Pottery, Mullalyup

A beautiful way to spend a Saturday afternoon — a little learning, a little creating, and plenty of time to simply enjoy the process.

A few places are still available — bookings welcome.

In this guided step-by-step session, you’ll be introduced to the process of painting a Red-tailed Black Cockatoo feather in a shared creative learning space.

Sometimes, the most beautiful way to quieten a busy mind is to give your hands something meaningful to create.

The gentle rhythm of painting, the careful observation of colour, and the patience of learning a new technique can offer a welcome pause from everyday stress.

With Sasha’s thoughtful guidance, you’ll be encouraged to slow down, explore each brushstroke, and discover the quiet confidence that comes with learning something new.

Because creativity isn’t just about what we create on paper — it’s also about what we discover within ourselves.

🌻 - this one is for you!

Sometimes we just need a few hours to step away from the everyday, pick up a paintbrush and let our imagination wander.

This Saturday, 5 September, we’re inviting Nicholee Vitali at Balingup Academy for a beautiful afternoon of Come & Play – Mystical Landscapes with Nicholee Vitali.

We’d especially love to welcome our local community, teenagers, young creatives, complete beginners, and anyone who has ever thought:

“I’d love to paint… but I’m not really an artist.”

You absolutely don’t need to be. 💚

Come and create a little world of your own — perhaps rolling hills, secret gardens, wildflower fields, dreamy skies or a landscape that exists only in your imagination. 🧚

Nicholee will guide you along the way, but there’s no pressure to make it “perfect”. This is about slowing down, having a play with colour and texture, and enjoying the simple happiness of making something with your own hands.

🎨 Canvas & all materials supplied
🌻No experience needed
🌻Teenagers welcome
🌻Take your own artwork home

We still have a few spots available, so if you’ve been thinking about joining us — this is your little invitation.

Bring a friend, bring your teenager, come on your own… or simply come and meet some fellow locals and spend a peaceful afternoon creating.

Come and play. Paint boldly. Find your serenity. 🌻

📅 Saturday, 5 September
🌻2–5pm
📍 Old Stables Pottery & Gallery

🎟️ Book your spot here:

We’d love to see you there. 💚

Learn how to let go of perfection, quiet the inner critic, and reconnect with the joy of making. As children, we create freely and fearlessly. As adults we fear
