Stencil Magic-Children's Holiday Art Workshop

Stencil Magic – School Holiday Art Workshop (Ages 6–10)

Stencil Magic is a nurturing art workshop where children are invited to slow down, explore their creativity, and enjoy the process of making art in a supportive group setting. Through guided art-making, children will create a layered and textured artwork using paint, canvas, stencils, and imagination — learning new skills while being encouraged to trust their own ideas.

The experience supports confidence, decision-making, emotional expression, and social connection as children share space, materials, and creative moments with others. Each child is supported at their own pace, helping them feel capable, proud, and free to experiment without pressure.

By the end of the workshop, your child will walk away with a completed artwork, a sense of achievement, increased confidence, and positive memories of creating in a calm and encouraging environment.

What to bring:
• Clothes that can get messy
• Water bottle
• Light snack

All art materials are supplied, and no prior experience is needed.

By combining creative exploration with gentle reflective language, this workshop encourages children to connect with their emotions, imagination, and personal strengths—all while having fun and constructing a glowing artwork that celebrates their individuality.

Facilitator – Soraya Pickard

I am a qualified Arts Psychotherapist with over five years of experience in private practice, supporting both children and adults of all abilities. I draw on creative experiential approaches to nurture emotional wellbeing, confidence, and self-expression in a safe and supportive environment.

Art has always played an important role in my own life, and this personal connection deeply informs the way I hold space for others. It allows me to create a warm, inclusive, and attuned therapeutic environment where children feel supported to explore, express, and grow through creativity.

My professional registrations include the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
