St George’s Arts Centre, St George’s Shopping Centre, Gravesend

Join artist Mud for an exciting series of 6 workshops where you will practice self-expression, play and experiment, and have fun in a creative, non-judgmental, and empowering environment. 

These workshops are not about artistic skills or innate talent: but about playing with art in fun and interesting ways. In these workshops you will make masks, create postcards to your future selves, paint to a selection of music, and more. We will begin each session with a ‘Freeing the Mind’ warm-up exercise that will influence and inspire our final piece in some way. These often unusual activities are designed to encourage you to loosen up by unleashing your inner creativity. 

The sessions themselves will be light-hearted; in a laid back environment where everyone is welcome to engage and experiment with art, express their ideas, and connect with others. We will be supportive and mindful of ourselves and others. In these workshops there is no right or wrong way of creating. 

Everything is open to interpretation and we value imperfection for what it is: 

“Imperfection inspires invention, imagination, creativity. It stimulates. The more I feel imperfect, the more I feel alive.” ― Jhumpa Lahiri

Dates and Projects: Six Weeks - Six Projects. 
Please book each session separately. Suitable for 18yrs + 

Session 6: 23rd November
Drawing Huge (Continuous Line Drawing)

In this final session, you’ll experience the freedom of creating large-scale drawings. 

After a welcome and introduction, we'll engage in a 'Freeing the Mind' activity: Continuous Line Drawing, where you’ll create continuous line drawings to break free from creative constraints. 

Following a break, you’ll work on collaborative and expansive artworks, playing with scale and form. 

We’ll conclude the session with a reflection and group discussion on the experience of working on such a large scale 

Bring: found objects and materials to draw with: leaves, twigs, trash etc.
