Marlborough artist Kylie Fleur to host workshop to bring out the 
'creative being' in everyone

Kylie says she has had amazing experiences from her time as an artist, 
but one of the most memorable is teaching art to blind people.

"The thing with the blind is they use all of their other senses when 
they are creating, and that's what I'm teaching in this workshop, how to 
use all of your senses.

"The workshop is a higher energy workshop designed to free you up and 
crack you open creatively. A lot of people approach art with fear, but 
this removes the fear and helps them find pleasure in the process of 
drawing."
