Step into a space of imagination and

workshop, led by Belfast-based artist
and illustrator Bethany Millican. Using
words, images, and chance prompts
as starting points, you'll be guided
to uncover the hidden symbols and
personal narratives that lie within your
own inner world.
Collage is an accessible and playful
art form that invites us to see meaning
in unexpected places and to bring
fragments together into something
whole. Whether you're completely
new to creative practice or already
use art in your daily life, this workshop
offers an opportunity to slow down,
experiment, and connect with your
creativity in a supportive environment.
Bethany's work is rooted in poetic
symbolism and the everyday magic
found in nature and objects. Through
drawing, print, poetry, and collage, she
shares the belief that meaning can be
discovered everywhere when we pay
attention. In this workshop, she will
guide you in exploring that same spirit
of curiosity, helping you create a piece
that is uniquely yours.
No previous art experience is needed,
just an open mind, a willingness to play,
and a curiosity to see what unfolds
