Our Reframe Your Perspective: Collage Vision Boards explores the craft as a way to reflect on personal outlooks for the year ahead.

Led by multimedia artist Hannah Aria, the session focuses on gathering images, words and textures to create a visual board that supports self growth and positive thinking.

You will be encouraged to use imagination and optimistic thinking to counter the darker mood of early January and to reframe unhelpful thought patterns.

Using cut out letters, uplifting phrases and expressive collage techniques, the workshop provides space to explore personal themes and strengthen a sense of direction.

The atmosphere will be reflective and creative, offering time to develop a board that captures individual aims, values and encouragements for the new year.

Basic materials provided. Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafes. This workshop is suitable for ages 16+.

What is collage vision board making?

Collage vision and mood board making is a creative process that combines cut out images, words, textures and mixed media to express ideas, goals or emotional themes.

Often used for reflection, personal development or planning, a mood board brings together visual elements that represent aspirations or feelings.

The technique is intuitive and accessible, allowing individuals to explore identity, intention and positivity through composition and imagery.
