About the event
Unwind, play, and rediscover your creative flow in this relaxed small-group workshop. We’ll start by filling a large A1 sheet with expressive paint, scribbles, collage and colour — a freeing, intuitive process with no rules and no pressure.
Then comes the magic: we’ll cut and fold your artwork into a beautiful concertina sketchbook, where each page reveals a surprising composition. This simple transformation is wonderfully satisfying and full of creative surprises.
Perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike, this session is designed to help you loosen up, trust the process and leave with something personal, joyful and uniquely yours.
