With With Sarah From Fille GUERNESIASE

Tuesday 4th November 6-8pm

Guernsey Chamber of Commerce, Business Development Centre Market Buildings GY1 1HE, Guernsey

Please note tickets are £25 per person , pay on arrival.

Join us for a creative and relaxing session where you’ll learn to make your very own Tangle Christmas trees. Using the mindful art of Zentangle, you’ll discover how intricate designs can be built through simple, step-by-step patterns.

This workshop is perfect for beginners and seasoned doodlers alike — a chance to slow down, unwind, and create something beautifully unique. By the end, you’ll have your own stunning Zentangle-inspired Christmas trees, perfect for turning into festive cards, decorations, or heartfelt handmade gifts.

Please note that access is from the door in Fountain Street and that the inner street will be closed at this time.

The Creativity Trolley

The trolley is a mobile arts initiative within the PEH. Working in collaboration with the States of Guernsey Health and Social Care (HSC) Arts + Health programme, we deliver inclusive high quality arts experiences that support patients, their families visitors, and staff - bringing the healing power of creativity into healthcare and daily life. Trained Arts practitioners and trained volunteers visit the wards with our Creativity Trolley.

Pride of Guernsey Nomination

We’re thrilled to announce that the Creativity Trolley has been nominated for the Arts Contribution Award in the Pride of Guernsey Awards!

Launched in May 2024 and administered by Guernsey Art Network (GAN), this mobile arts initiative brings uplifting creative engagement directly to patients and staff at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital. From watercolour painting and sketching to stop frame animation and more, the Creativity Trolley offers vital emotional support and joyful distraction during challenging times.

This collaborative project—between Guernsey Art Network and Health & Social Care—has already reached a huge amount of patients, staff and visitors across numerous wards and departments, bringing the powerful impact of the arts to the bedside.

Special thanks to the Social Investment Fund for their generous funding, and to the States of Guernsey (HSC) for their continued collaboration and support in making this initiative possible. Huge appreciation to the dedicated team behind the Trolley, and to everyone who makes this work so meaningful.

We're delighted to feature Louise Hill as our latest artist in our rolling exhibition at the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.

Want to Host a Skillshare Session?

If you are interested in running your own workshop we would love to hear from you. Any type of creative practice goes - knitting, painting, drawing, sculpture, abstraction, realism the list goes on! We cannot keep running these amazing workshops without Artists to facilitate them (and the wonderful attendees).

The artists running the events are paid for their time and costs of materials are covered.

Even if you’re interested but have some questions before committing, feel free to email gan@gan.org.gg and we can discuss further. Ultimately, Artists, GAN needs you!
