Art with Tricia Gardiner
On the 30th November, Tricia held an art workshop for the Sugar Stealers community.
Gathered around the gallery in a circle, settled on yoga mats and cushions, the group were surrounded by fairy lights, warmth and each other’s friendships to be inspired and create.
Tricia hosted a demonstration, giving everyone ideas and displaying the possibilities that could come from the structural pieces. Seemingly simple, the process required patience and technique.
The workshop taught the process of turning sheets of paper into mouldable structures, that when done correctly, have the strength to hold human weight.
Then, from the paper tubes, the group created structures that represented anything they wished. Some were Christmassy in nature, others resembled building structures, and some took inspiration from the natural environment.
One thing that was constant, was the uplifting energy in the room; being sat together on the ground was nostalgic and comforting, and it reflected in the laughter and chatter of the room.
As the last art workshop of 2023, it stood as a charming, fitting, end to the year for Sugar Stealers.
