Art + Wellbeing workshops
For many years, Sue's workshops have been in demand across the Darling Downs, South West and Western Queensland where she has collaborated with local councils, Queensland Health (TRACC), Royal Flying Doctor Service Qld, RHealth and many community organisations to facilitate events that relax, strengthen, and connect people to themselves and their communities.
The workshops boost wellbeing in a number of ways. The value of art for your mental health is well established and you'll get all that and more when you join one of my workshops or gather together your friends for a very special creative wellbeing experience.
Whether your goal is light hearted relaxation and connection, or a slightly more therapeutic experience that builds your self-care skills, I'm all about creating an emotionally safe, supportive and creative group experience that will enrich and strengthen lives.
All the workshops are suitable for beginners through to experienced artists and can be a light touch or deeply reflective, depending on your group's needs. Here are a few of them - I have many and can also develop workshops in consultation with you.
The Art of Self-Care - register for The Gap or Warwick workshops
Create, reflect and connect in this warm, relaxed and inspirational workshop with artist and counsellor Sue Hamlet.
You’ll explore self-care with Sue’s self-care resource - Uplifting Art Cards. Tap into new skills, and have fun creating your own extra cards, using acrylic paints and pens to capture personal insights and sparks of wisdom.
You’ll take home a beautiful professional quality resource set supplemented by your own hand made expansion cards.
$75 pp including card sets valued at $45. Minimum group sizes apply.
Connected Under Country Skies - 4-5 hours
Head Full of Dreams - 3-4 hours
Relax, get messy and enjoy a hands-on day of

never painted before, this workshop is for you.

Perfect for gathering a group of friends together or at your favourite venue. Can include 'high tea' provisions if required. Beginners are welcome, everything is provided.
Crowning Stories - 4-5 hours
'Van Grow' Strawberry - 2 hours
Learn Van Gogh techniques and make a fun, colourful Strawberry painting on canvas in just 2 hours. No prior art experience is needed.
Storytime
Storytime is all about the stories we tell in our families, and how they influence the next generation. Every family has its quirks, its wisdom, its funny stories. The way we make sense of these and pass these on can profoundly impact our children and grandchildren. In this workshop we take a look at what stories we will pass on to others, with opportunity to reimagine a new perspective that honours both truth and hope. This is a wonderful workshop for those involved in parenting or grandparenting.
