Frida Kahlo Portrait | Damsel Collective
Frida Kahlo: Create a 3D Portrait with Mixed Media
Sunday 1 March | 3:00–4:30 PM
Location: Damsel Collective
Step into a vibrant, hands-on creative session inspired by the iconic artist Frida Kahlo.
In this mixed-media workshop, you’ll paint a portrait of Kahlo and bring it to life using a variety of craft and stationery materials to create a bold, colourful 3D artwork. From sculpting flowers for her hair and adding texture to her brows, to designing playful pom-pom earrings, the creative direction is entirely yours.
This session is all about experimentation, self-expression, and enjoying the process rather than striving for perfection. Whether you’re an experienced maker or simply looking for a fun, relaxed creative afternoon, you’ll leave with a unique piece of art and a renewed sense of inspiration.
What to expect:
Paint and mixed-media techniques
Create a layered 3D portrait
Freedom to explore your own design ideas
A welcoming, creative environment
All craft supplies are provided.
No prior experience needed — just come ready to create.
Spaces are limited, so booking in advance is recommended.
