Creative Journeys Workshops

Creative Journeys is a collaboration between working artists to foster creativity and develop the arts in Nelson, New Zealand. 
Classes and workshops in painting, textiles, mixed media, contemporary natural dyeing are offered throughout the year. Individual Mentoring and tailor-made courses also available.


CREATIVE JOURNEYS - OUR PHILOSOPHY

Creative Journeys began in 2012 with a number of workshops in textiles and painting. These were so successful that we decided to create a structure with which to provide art workshops on an on-going basis. 

Our immediate aim is to provide professional, community-based arts education in a friendly and supportive environment.

Our larger aim is to facilitate the growth and development of the local arts community. We want to create opportunities for networking among artists, to keep Nelson's creative spirit alive. 

The programme now includes on-going weekly classes, one-day and weekend workshops, occasional master classes and individual mentoring.   All Creative Journey tutors are professional, practising artists, who are keen to share their skills and knowledge with others
