Workshop concept: Art for self-expression

Art Without Expectation

A half-day of colour, paper and no finished piece — for people who stopped making things a long time ago.

Concept, not scheduled

A little about the experience.

Most people arrive at this workshop saying some version of 'I can't draw'. That is genuinely fine, and it is not what the day is about.

We work with colour, paper, ink and collage in short, low-stakes exercises. Nothing is displayed unless you want it to be. Nothing is discussed unless you raise it.

The aim is to spend a few hours making marks without an audience in your head. What comes out of that is yours to keep, keep private, or throw away on the way home.

What would be provided

  • All paper, paint, ink and collage materials
  • Aprons
  • Tea and something to eat

You might bring

  • Clothes you do not mind marking
  • A photograph or object, if you would like something to work from
