A hands-on workshop in downtown Victoria using torn paper and collage to release tension and make something abstract with your hands.
Tear & Release is a creative wellness workshop in downtown Victoria built around one simple, satisfying act: tearing paper. There’s something different about ripping compared to cutting — it’s less controlled, more physical, and strangely relieving. We’ll use that feeling as the starting point.
You’ll spend the session tearing, layering, and arranging paper into an abstract, textural piece — no fixed outcome, no “right” composition. It’s less about creating something recognizable and more about what happens when you let your hands do something raw and unplanned.
This is a good fit if you’re holding onto tension, feeling boxed in by perfectionism, or just want a physical, hands-on way to unwind.
What’s included:
- A variety of papers, textures, and colours to tear and layer
- Guided prompts to move you from release into composition
- Facilitated by a professional art therapist and counsellor
- Small group setting, calm and welcoming studio space
- No artistic background needed — nothing to get “right”
Limited to 8 participants. No art experience needed. All materials provided. This is an educational and experiential workshop not a therapy group. After booking, you’ll receive an invoice, short consent form, and event reminders via JaneApp.
