Apply to join our open studio day in Glen Iris Melbourne

 

The open studio is a community arts gathering that emerged out of the creative women's circle and women in our community wanting to come together to make art. In the open studio in Glen Iris a small creative community of crafters, makers, practicing artists or anyone with more time and space to explore creativity and art making come together. 

​

As a practicing artist, creative arts and eco-therapist, Marion Miller created this offering to support other artists to share in art making and conversations for authentic self-expression creative unblocking, tapping into intuitive feeling and embodied mindfulness, nature connection and community well-being. 

​

When we gather and create a powerful shift occurs. The vulnerability of the creative process is met with warmth, understanding, and social connection. The studio hols space for painting, drawing, weaving, sculpting, writing, poetry, collage and other forms of creative expression. The maximum capacity for the open studio is five people with three easles, and three tables and chairs available as well as floor cushions.
