Finding Balance - Mobile Making Workshop

Join me for an evening at my studio in Hove, where you can find balance and creativity while crafting your own mobile.
 
This workshop is designed to help you cultivate a centered state of mind. Together, we’ll explore the concept of balance, both in art and in life. The mobile you create will serve as a beautiful visual reminder to bring a sense of calm whenever you need it in your everyday routine.
 
I’ll provide all the materials and guidance you need to create your own piece of art, focusing on color, composition, and balance.
 
We’ll kick things off with a cup of tea and a moment to unwind, allowing you to settle into the space and leave behind the busyness of your day before we start an evening of creative exploration.
 
What to Expect:

We will be creating a two-frame, tiered mobile.
 
You’ll have the opportunity to choose your color palette from the options shown in the image carousel above and decide between brass or copper for your materials.
 
Before the workshop, I’ll be in touch to find out your color palette and choice of metal (you do not have to have decided on this to book a space on the workshop)
 
When you arrive, you’ll receive a variety of shapes in your chosen colors to work with, as well as materials to make your frames, thread, and a gold hoop to incorporate into your design.
 
If you’d like to swap a color or two from my collection once you see the options in person, that’s no problem at all.
 
The first part of the session will focus on composition, hanging length, and experimenting with layouts.
 
Once we’ve refined your design, we’ll move on to building your mobile in three dimensions, carefully working through the balancing points to ensure that your piece moves beautifully.
 
You’ll have the opportunity to use pliers and a drill (if you're comfortable using a drill, or I’m happy to do that part for you).
 
I’ll also guide you through selecting the right fixings to hang your mobile, offering either a sticky removable hook or a self-tapping screw hook.
 
At the end of the session, I’ll wrap up your mobile carefully, and you’ll be able to take it home in a flat A3 package
