Graffiti style street art has a rich history as part of counter-culture and is a valuable medium for disenfranchised people to be seen and heard. Street art is also at the heart of Melbourne’s identity. In this workshop participants will learn the basic principles of graffiti style lettering and design a tag of their own. Participants can paint their tag onto a piece of plywood which they can keep forever. This workshop can be extended to include stencil making. https://www.redtreecommunityarts.com.au/vision daily 0.75 2023-03-31 https://www.redtreecommunityarts.com.au/painting daily 0.75 2024-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d0fcadcdde562728d2e42/1619872618920-3FD59FCRAZFE1MJMEAD4/unsplash-image-kKzbyDeb62M.jpg Painting - Painting Painting isn’t as hard as it looks! In painting workshops, participants can learn a variety of skills and techniques, and create something they can be proud of. Workshops are guided by the goals and interests of participants. Hate bowls of fruit? Prefer to paint robot fights? Let’s do it! Trouble holding a paintbrush due to injury or disability? We can use other tools and materials. Don’t know where to start? We have plenty of ideas, prompts and reference materials! https://www.redtreecommunityarts.com.au/ukulele daily 0.75 2024-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d0fcadcdde562728d2e42/d9f93b3e-9690-47de-98e6-62ce12fe0f07/ukulele.jpg Ukulele - Ukulele A fun instrument for every age group! Playing an instrument is a great way to relax and express emotion in a healthy way. It has been shown to have demonstrable benefits to brain health, and it’s not a bad party trick either! Participants will receive their very own ukulele, learn some popular songs and build up a song-book to keep. Workshops are tailored to the specific needs and aptitudes of the participants. If participants are ready, we can support them to learn to read basic tabliture and chord patterns, allowing them to learn almost any song they find on the internet. https://www.redtreecommunityarts.com.au/home daily 1.0 2023-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d0fcadcdde562728d2e42/1624860203498-49NSHK6X6CGY84P5JSLT/unsplash-image-MczRMzUwwPs.jpg Home - We come to you!

Red Tree aims to work alongside other support services to bring an extra layer of healing and empowerment through rediscovering the joy of making music and art. Creative arts provide many benefits to people engaged in support services. They provide an activity to fill time, improve focus, and are a valuable mechanism for processing experiences and sharing stories. Our workshops are run from a strengths-based, client-centred framework that celebrates the value of every person’s expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d0fcadcdde562728d2e42/1624858693890-7FLVOA74O91ZYJFVDMBY/unsplash-image-FwF_fKj5tBo.jpg Home - Workshops We provide small workshops for up to fifteen people. We can provide one-off workshops or create an ongoing long-term or short-term program. We will bring all materials with us. Workshops can be tailored to the specific needs and interests of your clients.

Our materials are good quality (including real gemstones) and come in a variety of styles to cater to all demographics!
