Trace Balla workshops

-Trace facilitates friendly workshops for all ages and abilities, in your home, community space, women's group, hospital, school, festival.... AND ON ZOOM!


Story-catching- story creating - Trace will inspire you to capture stories, and assist in illustrating techniques, to make a mini comic book or picture book. Trace can also show slides about her book making process, from journal to published.

Nature journaling- When you sit and sketch you look more closely and appreciate so much more. Indoor locations for days when weather not suitable. 

Soul dolls- Be inspired by the diverse cultures of doll-making around the world to create dolls that have meaning for you. Dolls may be intended to attract qualities such as courage, good health, friendship, fertility, and wisdom, into your life . They may protect your home, hold memories, focus on life transitions such as girl to young woman, woman to crone, be important for someone your are creating the doll for, or offer guidance and insight. A wide variety of techniques are offered.

Soul Crafts - make books, baskets, soft "lovables", soul-dolls, and more in ongoing sessions, or do a half or full day session on just one technique. Great for personalised gift-making rather than buying. Focus will be on re-using and recycling.
