Take part in the ‘I Am Woman’ - Art Project and claim the Beauty of your body, of the biological reality of Woman and Womanhood and take a step towards loving your body for the work of art it truly is.
This Art Project is aimed at supporting women of all ages including menstruating girls under the age of 18 to claim the beauty of being a Woman and to celebrate our beautiful bodies and its innate intelligence.
NOTE: Under 18 year olds must come with mum or a woman guardian. If this isn’t possible please get in touch to discuss.
On the Day
The Art Project starts at 10.00am with a Welcome from the ‘I Am Woman’ Project Founder -Visionary Artist Lisa Lochhead.
From there everyone will lay on a large sheet of paper and we outline the shape of the body on the paper. Then you work with felt tips, paints, collaging anything goes in expressing how you feel about each area of your body as you work around the areas of your body. As you do this the creative process unfolds and a dialogue between you, your artwork and your intuitive nature unfolds and reveals the beauty of accepting and loving your body. Each finished piece will be utterly unique and full of meaning to each girl/woman.
This art session will take place over one full day.
To keep the costs as low as possible to participate we supply some materials and others you will need to bring with you.
