Eucalia Mythicarium
The Mythicarium is a space for deep listening, creativity, and symbolic connection. It’s part art workshop and part storytelling salon; where short stories are read aloud while you create your own artworks.
These sessions are not about technical skill. Whether you’re a practicing artist, a curious creative, or someone who hasn’t picked up a pencil in years, you are welcome here.
Your artwork doesn’t have to be finished. It might even be the start of something larger, like a study, a plan, or a feeling you want to follow later.
What to Expect
Each session centres around a curated short story (or a collection), from stories in the public domain, often drawn from literature, folklore, or gothic fiction. These stories are performed aloud by the Storyteller, while you make art inspired by them.
During the session, the Storyteller occasionally incorporates gentle movement and held poses, offering an optional life drawing element. These moments are designed to slow the pace, inspire your artwork, and give you a visual anchor for anatomical or symbolic exploration.
We pause briefly midway for tea and a moment to breathe. There’s no pressure to share or explain your work. The focus is on process, not product.
Eucalia Mythicarium is open for 2 hours at a time. Here is the structure:
- Introduction, tea-making, & story context (10 mins)
- Storytelling & artmaking (45 mins)
- Tea, coffee, snack break (15 mins)
- Storytelling & artmaking (45 mins)
- The Mythicarium will come to a close (5 mins)
All materials are provided, including charcoals, pencils, acrylic pens, collage supplies. You are welcome to bring your own, if you’d prefer. No oils, please.

Why Stories?
Stories speak to something deep and ancient in us. They connect us to our shared heritage as humans. When we make art from that place, we connect to ourselves differently. We listen. We imagine. We remember something ephemeral.
Eucalia Mythicarium is for that. Come with curiosity, leave with something you didn’t know you needed.
Spaces are limited. Reserve your ticket now.
