Join contemporary artist, Samantha Thompson and explore painting, collage, ink, and basic printmaking. Bring your own dried flowers and other found objects to inspire and enhance your creation.

With a focus on community spirit and resilience, artist Samantha Thompson will teach a variety of mixed media techniques from new and recycled elements.

Samantha is a professional multidisciplinary contemporary artist and arts worker based in regional Victoria. Her work represents her passion for family and community, feminism and her connection to her surrounds. Growing up in the family fashion business exposed her to a myriad of business and creative opportunities from an early age. This included representing a fashion label overseas and developing product shoots and international product campaigns. These early experiences helped Samantha to run and manage her own art career, which has spanned over 20 years and includes 13 solo exhibitions and numerous Australian and International Exhibitions and Art Fairs.

**Created works will be exhibited, photographed, and digitised images uploaded to the Geelong Regional Libraries website.

The Creative Collective Memory Arts project is funded through the Libraries for Health and Wellbeing Program; an initiative of State Library Victoria (for the Library Board of Victoria) and Public Libraries Victoria under the banner of the Statewide Public Library Development Projects 2020 – 2023
