introductory courses
An opportunity to explore the ancient practice of mindfulness in the context of drawing over a longer period. Explore how the two disciplines enhance each other and receive a toolkit of methods and approaches to apply in your life/work into the future.
During the course, we identify common obstacles to creativity and a range of ways of working with and through them. These are great courses to liberate, inspire and release limiting views and attitudes and to engage with drawing as a source of joy.
Course length: 3 hour sessions over 4 to 6 weeks
‘One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, “What is I had never seen this before? What if I knew that I would never see it again?”’
- RACHEL CARSON
“As a beginner, I specifically appreciated mixing the mindfulness approach with the practice of art. I’ve learned new techniques to draw more confidently and spontaneously, notably starting to get rid of the judging mind. Highly recommended! ”
“I would recommend these classes to anyone who is curious about approaching drawing for the first time as well as those who would like to explore taking their work in new directions and with fresh curiosity.”
