The Session

As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, join me for a slow and relaxing seasonal collage session held at The Wizard Tea Rooms - Surrounded by the stillness and magic of Alderley Edge woods, we’ll embrace the season’s natural rhythm of balance, reflection and creativity in a cosy, welcoming setting. Enjoy a mindful afternoon, designed to help you slow down, connect with your senses, yourself and others, whilst focusing on the here and now.

Collage journalling can be a powerful tool for personal reflection and to help you visually explore your inner life, thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams.

Explore the magic of Autumn and enjoy a relaxed afternoon creating your own Autumnal themed collage, inspired by all of the season’s joys, associations and comforts. Autumn is the perfect time to engage with your creative flow. A time for balance, creating new habits, harmony, introspection and reflection. Designed to free and calm the mind, unlock creativity, and inspire the imagination, through self discovery and play, this session aims to help you nurture your creative expression and connect with your creative soul. A time to discover a sense of purpose in your creative life and to build a visually metaphorical home for the winter months ahead. We will use this time to create a personal piece for you to take away, keep and reflect upon as we enter the cooler and darker times ahead.

Throughout this two hour collage session you will delve into a wide selection of paper materials, choosing images and words that are relevant or that you feel drawn to in some way, to create your own unique journal page, combining images and words to express thoughts, memories and dreams through the art of collage. 

Perfectly suitable for beginners, dabblers and seasoned collagists wanting a bit of time to yourself for a mid-week mindful moment and to reset for the months ahead in this cosy little nature surrounded sanctuary.

- Please arrive 5-10 mins early so you can settle yourself in ready to start the session at 1.30pm.
