Many people often say, "I didn’t get the creative gene" or "I’m not an artist—I can’t even draw a stick figure."
This workshop challenges that mindset, embracing the belief that creativity lives within everyone—it’s just a matter of letting go and giving it a try! Led by a self-taught artist with a passion for experimentation and an ever-evolving creative process, this multi-session workshop invites participants to shift from left-brain thinking to right-brain creativity, helping them tap into their inner child and paint with freedom.
The first session will focus on exploring abstract art and experimenting with mark-making, while subsequent sessions will introduce mixed media, acrylics, and oil and cold wax techniques.
All supplies for experimenting with various mediums will be provided. Participants simply need to show up, have fun, and unlock their creativity!
All levels are welcome.
Please wear old clothes/ Dress for mess.
