Sparking Joy! Let’s Create a Unique Still Life Together

At Artfest | All ages | 2‑hour session | $15 per person | Up to 20 participants

Bring along an object that sparks joy and join artist Helen Morgan in creating a collaborative still life filled with meaning, memory and imagination. Participants will place their chosen object into a shared arrangement — either quietly or through storytelling — forming a unique group still life that celebrates gratitude and connection.

🎨 What’s Included:

An “art buffet” of materials: paper, pencils, markers, watercolour, paint and collage supplies

Technical guidance and creative support from Helen

Space to explore realistic or abstract interpretations of the still life

Optional access to Helen’s zine Stories from an Electric Typewriter for added inspiration

🎨 What to Bring:

One small object that sparks joy for you (This could be sentimental, quirky, meaningful, or simply something you love.)

Objects should be small enough to sit safely on a table as part of the group still life.

Each participant will create their own artwork inspired by the collective still life, choosing any style or medium that feels right. A joyful, reflective workshop for anyone who loves creativity, storytelling and meaningful objects.
