About this event
Do you want to get creative but don't know where to begin?
Do drawing or painting sometimes feel intimidating?
Join us for an intuitive collage afternoon - a playful and grounding way to break away from adult responsibilities, unwind, get curious and reconnect with yourself in a creative way.
No art skills or experience needed - if you can use scissors, you can make a collage 🙂✂️
* WHAT TO EXPECT *
You will be welcomed into the cosy creative nook of Artools in Utrecht for a relaxed and inspiring afternoon.
We will ease in with a short grounding and introduction to intuitive collage - a way of creating that invites you out of the thinking mind and back into your senses. You will browse, tear, cut, layer and glue images that speak to you, transforming existing materials into a visual reflection of what is alive in you.
No need to have any art skills or talent to benefit from this journey! It’s all about the process.
There will be gentle prompts available for those who like guidance, as well as optional journaling and a supportive sharing moment at the end. You are always welcome to share as much or as little as feels right.
✅ You will enjoy a relaxed and supportive space where you can explore what wants to emerge, play, and tap into your inner wisdom
✅ All materials are provided. You’re welcome to bring your own (old magazines, scissors, glue, and even crayons, markers, paint, brushes, …) if you'd like - you don’t have to share them, but it helps with the distribution of supplies
✅ Tea and snacks will be offered
✅ And you can bring home your unique creation :-) 🌿
You can expect to leave:
✨ feeling lighter and creatively inspired
✨ more calm and connected to yourself
✨ with more trust in your own instincts
✨ with a personal artwork that holds meaning for you ✂️
Price: € 35,00
Time: 14:00-16:00
Materials, tea and snacks included
Place: Artools shop, Nachtegaalstraat 14, 3581 AG Utrecht
* THE POWER OF COLLAGE *
Collage is a beautifully accessible form of intuitive art.
Without needing to “draw well,” you can create something deeply personal.
By selecting and combining existing images, you allow your subconscious to speak in symbols, colours, and unexpected connections.
The tactile process - browsing pages, cutting shapes, layering textures - helps quiet the analytical mind and awaken presence.
When you look at your finished collage, you may notice insights, emotions, or themes revealing themselves softly, offering a gentle “conversation with your soul”. There is no right or wrong - only exploration :-)
* WHO IS THIS FOR *
This workshop is for anyone who:
- feels curious about creative expression
- wants a relaxed and welcoming space to make art
- enjoys intuitive processes
- is looking for a gentle way to reconnect with themselves
Maybe you simply miss being creative, or want to try something new.
Maybe you just want a relaxed, inspiring afternoon.
No art skills or experience are needed - only openness and curiosity.
If you wish to dive deeper into a guided theme-based journey, have a look at our Creative Workshops for Self-Exploration - those are more reflective and structured around a specific inner theme.
*WHAT TO BRING *

- Any personal magazines or materials you’d like to use (optional)
- An open and curious heart
* ABOUT THE FACILITATOR *
Valerie is passionate about creating gentle spaces where others can slow down, listen inward and give expression to what lies inside, through both movement and creativity. With a background in yoga and expressive arts, she guides intuitive processes that invite curiosity, presence, and self-trust.
She has always been drawn to the connection between body, mind, and spirit - from practicing karate and dance in her early years in Belgium, to discovering yoga in her teens and returning to it later as a source of softness, grounding, and truth.
She believes that creativity belongs to everyone. Just like movement, it can help bring the unconscious conscious and reconnect us with our natural wisdom. Through her work, she hopes to guide you toward a deeper connection with yourself - so you can move through life with more ease, authenticity, and joy.
