Express Yourself With Playful Patterns

In this fun, reflective workshop, we’ll create vibrant “pattern portraits”: expressive artworks that combine simple doodles, collage, and playful mark-making to fill a shape or silhouette that represents you. This class is perfect for anyone who loves creative expression but feels intimidated by traditional drawing. Using materials you already have at home, you’ll explore the soothing rhythm of patterns, the discovery of collage, and the power of reflecting visually on your identity, mood, or personal story. (Collage is optional but encouraged!)

No art experience needed, just a willingness to play, explore, and enjoy the process!

What You Will Learn:

  • Pattern Creation Techniques: Master the art of creating expressive pattern portraits using simple doodles and repetitive mark-making techniques
  • Collage Integration: Explore how to use collage elements to add depth and personal meaning to your self-representational artwork
  • Meditative Art Practice: Discover the therapeutic and meditative benefits of pattern-making as a form of creative self-expression
  • Visual Storytelling: Learn to visually translate your identity, emotions, and personal stories into abstract yet meaningful artistic compositions

Supplies You’ll Need:

  • Sketchbook, notebook, or a few sheets of blank paper
  • Pen, marker, or your drawing utensil of choice
  • Optional:
    A few colored pens, highlighters, or markers
    Old magazines, scrap paper, junk mail, or decorative papers
    Scissors
    Glue stick or tape

This class was sort of a wild card--I didn't know what it would be like but Sarah is a great teacher and we were in good hands. We made a piece of art that represents us. We used drawing and collage and patterns to create a portrait of ourselves at that time. I enjoyed the process very much.

This is my first course with Sara and it was so different to what I thought it would be, and so great to have a new take on how to express yourself within your own art. I never thought of using collage with other mediums that could look good, or at least, as good as Sarah. My favourite bit was how she as a right handed artist, started her warm up by using her left hand.
