Fairytale Land – Art for the Heart workshop

Finding a way to get out of the coded place

Art for the Heart workshop theme this week was to invite participants to make an image entitled ‘Fairytale Land’. This was such a dreamy workshop with everyone getting lost in liminal space and thoughts. Everything is possible in fairytale land so we had flying dragons, princesses, magic spells, finding love, underwater dancing, and castles in the sky. Themes of power, love, dreams and wishes, as well as searching for the grail all emerged in reflecting on the images.
