With Zara Farinha
A guided Permission to Play classes session.
Description:
Day: Friday
Time: 10am – 12pm
Skill Level: Beginner & Intermediate
Medium: Mixed Media Exploration
Term 4: 9th October - 4th December (9 weeks)
A gentle return to creativity — for beginners, returners, and the quietly curious.
This class is a space to meet the blank page without pressure, pick up a brush without expectation, and remember how it feels to make something simply because it feels good.
Creating isn’t about skill. It’s about permission. Permission to play, to let go, to release and reconnect.
Many of us stop creating not because we lack talent, but because we’ve learned to be careful — careful of doing it wrong, careful of being seen, careful of not being good enough.
Permission to Play is a creative circle for those who feel pulled to create but don’t quite know where to begin — or how to begin again.
There is something deeply restorative about creating together. This shared space invites exploration, play, and reconnection with colour, intuition, and with yourself.
Here, the process matters more than the outcome. Curiosity matters more than confidence.
If the blank page intimidates you, this class is for you.
If you used to paint and don’t know how to start again, this class is for you.
If you’re craving something playful, nourishing, and just for you, this class is for you.
No experience needed.
No rules. No pressure. No judgement.
Just colour, connection, and permission to begin again.
