Service Description

Friday 27th March 2-4pm Experimenting in Abstraction is a workshop that aims to open you up to new ways of seeing, thinking and making art. So much of art is in the mind, and this workshop will help you listen to your intuition and with how it feels, rather than how you think. Whether you're a seasoned artist already wanting to try something new or never made art before this is a workshop for you. Through a series of guided experiments, you will start to use different tools, mediums and colours to express yourself. We will look 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. These are helpful experiments that I use all the time in my art practice, I tend to work between abstraction and figuration. I always get stuck with my art, but as soon as put a bit of paint on the page, I am free again, and ready to play. Because to me, that is what art is, play. Taking some time for yourself to play around for a bit, and not worry about the outcome, just have fun. You’re welcome to arrive early or stay late to make full use of the studio space during the co-working session, available from 1:30–5:30pm. Accessibility Information: The studio is on the ground floor and accessed via three steps with a handrail. Toilets are located either up one flight of stairs or down three steps at the rear of the building.
