Art is for Everyone
Art is for everyone is a series of low pressure, creative workshops run by different artists each month. The workshops are designed to get your creative juices flowing, for people of all different skill levels, where the outcome is less important than the creative process itself. With the aim to show that being creative and making art can be for everyone. Some of the workshops that we've had so far are...
Experiments in Abstraction with Dan Brereton
​
Experimenting in Abstraction aims to open you up to new ways of seeing, thinking and making art. To help you listen to your intuition and with how it feels, rather than how you think. Through a series of guided experiments, using different tools, mediums and colours to express yourself, this workshop looks at abstraction and figuration, and the trick is to not worry too much about the playful mess you are making, go with the intuition, and maybe the mess will turn into something magic.
Portals to the Creative Zone with Charlotte Done
​
Exploring how the creative process occurs and how to best get into the Creative Zone and thinking about how our brains work when we're being creative. In this workshop we had fun with experimental excersises using drawings and collage, and then created a framed portrait of an imaginary creative muse to help. Your very own mascot of creativity.
Pieces of nature with Hazel Leech
​
Using natural materials to create celebratory sculptures to welcome in the new year. Using materials from field, forest and coast being tested and manipulated into beautiful sculptures by our have-a-go artists. The brief was simply to play with the sticks, grasses, bark and leaves on offer and resist all urge to plan an outcome. Everybody was proud of their (often surprising) reslts from working alongside nature.
