about ARTFOLK

"Comparison is the death of creativity. Make, create and express yourself with the skills and abilities you already have. Enjoy living more creatively." - Vanessa

Vanessa has been engaging communities in arts practices since 2016, hosting workshops and events that allow you to escape from reality and spend a little more time focusing on yourself.

The Why

"Creating Artfolk has been a beautiful journey, starting with my desire to inspire creativity in people's lives to actually building a creative community of 'folk' who engage in artistic practices with like-minded others. The energy and atmosphere of a group of people focused on a creative project, enjoying 'me time' away from life's demands, and discovering their innate craftiness is a great pleasure. Being able to teach others artistic skills, sharing knowledge and watching them blossom into confident makers who glow peace and pride is a privilege."

Just look at all the fun we’ve had… 10 years and 8000+ attendees worth!

Testimonials
Mia

“Vanessa was fantastic! It was such a fun, relaxed environment! I also learned a few things I’d never known before. So excited to try it all out again at home!”

Bel

“Vanessa was a wonderful teacher… really friendly and encouraging. Her knowledge of art was remarkable and she was so willing to share all that she knows. There was such a great mixture of supplies and as a beginner, I felt really supported. It was a fun night! I would definitely go again!”

Wendy

“I absolutely loved this workshop! Fabulously talented teacher and she seemed to be able to bring out each person’s strengths… as none of us had any experience which can be a little daunting. I went home proud of my art, as did everyone else I am sure.”
