Through a series of gentle exercises and demonstrations, you'll discover how a simple natural object can inspire abstract compositions, expressive mark-making and beautiful layered artworks.Perfect for beginners and curious creatives alike, this workshop encourages experimentation over perfection, helping you build confidence as you explore a range of exciting materials and techniques.๐ŸŽจ What you'll exploreThroughout the session, you'll experiment with a variety of creative processes including:Drawing and observational sketchingExploring shape, rhythm and repeating patternsCreating acetate stencils inspired by pebble formsExpressive mark-makingLayering collage and textured papersFlowing inks and colour washesOil pastel and chalk pastel techniquesMixed-media compositionWorking intuitively, you'll combine these materials to create a unique artwork inspired by the quiet beauty of Brighton's shoreline.๐ŸŒŠ Creativity Inspired by NatureBrighton's beach is full of subtle colours, weathered textures and endlessly varied shapes. By slowing down and observing these details, we begin to see familiar objects in new ways.This workshop encourages curiosity and play, showing how artists can transform simple observations into expressive and personal imagery.You'll leave with a collection of sketches, experiments, and a finished mixed-media artwork, along with plenty of ideas to continue exploring at home.๐ŸŒฟ Creativity for WellbeingWorking with natural forms can be deeply grounding. The repetitive shapes of pebbles, the layering of colour and texture, and the freedom to experiment without worrying about getting things "right" create a calming and mindful creative experience.This is an opportunity to slow down, become absorbed in the making process, and enjoy the simple pleasure of exploring materials.โœจ Perfect for BeginnersIf you've ever wondered where artists get their ideas, this workshop offers a glimpse into the creative process.Rather than focusing on producing a perfect finished picture, you'll learn how artists develop ideas through sketching, experimentation and play. It's a wonderful introduction to mixed media and a chance to discover new materials in a relaxed, supportive environment.What's Included2-hour guided workshopAll materials providedA complimentary tea or coffeeYour mixed-media artwork to take homeSuitable for adults and young people aged 16+.No previous artistic experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.Liberation Art Gallery CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to making creativity accessible for everyone.
