Creative Wellbeing Oracle Workshop

Creative Wellbeing Oracle Workshop

When: May 6, 13, 20 from 17.00 to 19.30 (your ticket is for the whole 3-part series)

Where: Prismatic Pages, Rathkes gate 7b

During the course of three sessions, we will explore the intersection of creativity and mental health through the art of oracle card creation.

We will craft a personalized set of nine oracle cards inspired by a variety of creative art techniques and writing prompts, with the cozy atmosphere of the bookstore as background. No previous experience with art making or creative writing is needed, you can always engage with the prompts at a level that feels right for you. It is important to note that sharing personal stories or the creations you develop during the course is entirely voluntary.

We'll start each session with a prompt relating to one aspect of mental health, discuss and journal. After that we distill our feelings around the prompt into a visual representation with words of affirmation on the oracle card.

The final set will be composed of 9 cards, of which you'll decide the dimension yourself. Each card will represent the answer to a different prompt/question that might inspire you again in the future. It will be possible to laminate your cards to make them more resistant. We'll create three cards per session, using techniques such as collage, painting and drawing so the end result will showcase different styles and materials

The goal is to leave you with creative inspiration and a set of tools to help you in the future through reflection and therapeutic art practices.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or doubts, we look forward to getting creative together!

The workshop will cost 800 NOK, which covers the cost of materials and instruction. Tickets cannot be refunded but you may resell or give away your ticket if the original purchaser cannot attend.

The workshop will be led by Marta Crosta:

I'm an artist and art therapist, I completed my education in Italy and brought my creativity to Norway in the middle of the pandemic. I write poetry and produce mostly collage and mixed media art. I work at Barnekunstmuseet here in Oslo, where I organise workshops and courses. I spend most of my free time reading, that's why Prismatic Pages is the perfect place for this course!
