Upcoming FREE workshops accompanying the solo exhibition Echoes of Nature
Three distinct workshops will be on offer. No artistic skills needed. Bookings are required
Workshops will take place at Obsidian Bide Art Gallery & Studio, 9/9 Toorbul St, Bongaree. The development of these workshops has been generously funded by the Regional Arts Development Fund which is why they can be offered at no cost to participants.
The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and City of Moreton Bay to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
Expressions of Hope - 19 October 2025, 10am-2pm
Drop into the gallery for a collaborative workshop as coinciding with the Bribie Island Nature Festival. Together, we will develop individual creative responses into a collective artwork that will continue to grow and evolve during Echoes of Nature.
Beyond Sight - 1 November 2025, 2-5pm
What happens when we create or experience art without relying on vision? This workshop invites participants of all abilities to explore diverse ways of sensing, informed by the lived experience of vision impairment. Through tactile exploration, guided dialogue, and multisensory creativity, we’ll challenge prevailing assumptions, foster empathy, and open fresh perspectives on perception and connection.
Fibre & Form - 8 November 2025, 2-5pm
Discover the hidden potential of natural and reclaimed materials in this hands-on workshop. Using fibres, found objects, and tactile processes, we’ll explore how creativity, skill-building, and sustainability connect. Together, we’ll create sculptural forms that reflect our relationships with nature — celebrating resilience, transformation, and wellbeing.

Art & Soul, Open Studio
Open Studio setting supporting creative engagement, wellbeing, resilience and social connection
