CREATIVE IMAGE MAKING

One Day Art Workshop

with Nettie Lodge

image

Exercising creativity unleashes our spirit and enables us to explore the wonderful world of the unknown.

It allows us to recognise and embrace our imagination. It helps clarify our ideas, improve our art practice and suspend judgement. It has the innate ability to transport us to an extremely happy place.

This workshop is designed to introduce the participants to a variety of art mediums to explore creatively and experimentally, including watercolour, acrylic paint, mono printing and collage. Each participant will have the opportunity to explore, discover and experiment with all the demonstrated mediums.

In the first half of the workshop, Nettie will guide the participants through a series of fun, creative, visual exercises, designed to unlock your hidden, artistic talent and explore the mediums. In the second half of the workshop Nettie will work with each participant on a one to one basis to create a piece of visual art based on the creative exercises and the demonstrated mediums.

This workshop is beneficial for everyone, from beginners to advanced, and also those with no previous art experience.

All materials and delicious lunch included
