Tear & Release: A Torn Paper Art Workshop | Victoria, BC

A hands-on creative wellness workshop in downtown Victoria using torn paper to release tension and make something abstract with your hands.
About this Event

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"

This is a creative wellness workshop, not a therapy session, facilitated by a professional art therapist and counsellor (RCC & CCC). After purchasing your ticket you will receive a consent form and event reminders via JaneApp.
