Wish Tin Workshop - For Adults!

Make a small, personal place for a wish or intention you want to carry into your everyday life.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll transform a small tin by collaging its inside and outside. Choose images, colours and details that feel connected to your wish, then take your finished tin home with a candle for a portable wish ritual of your own.

There’s no right way to make a wish tin. Take your time choosing, cutting and layering, and make something that feels personal to you.

About Francesca:

Francesca Spillane is an artist, educator, and curriculum designer based in Melbourne, Australia. Her mixed media practice is rooted in the art of collecting, gathering objects, photographs, sketches, and materials that she repurposes into richly layered collages. Often using found objects as stamps, she captures memories through texture and mark-making, creating visual narratives that echo the scrapbooks of her childhood.

Francesca works across media including paint, oil pastels, gouache, and watercolour, handcrafting her own collage papers both traditionally and digitally. Recently, she has begun exploring AI as a creative tool, using it to inspire style, visualise ideas and support inclusive practices for students of all abilities.

As part of the Zart Art Education team, Francesca designed curriculum and delivered professional development programs to empower teachers with creative, accessible approaches to learning. Her work reflects a deep belief that creativity should be accessible, meaningful and central to how we connect with ourselves and the world.
