Kintsugi is the general Japanese concept of highlighting or emphasizing imperfections that comes from the wabi-sabi philosophy of embracing the flawed or imperfect. In this class we will discover this wonderful Japanese art in which you make something broken more valuable by adding gold to it, learning the history behind, the original materials used for centuries and finally by making something broken whole again with modern instruments. At the end of the class you will have your own piece of art to bring home and the knowledge on how to apply this technique in your daily life.
Alice is a multimedia artist that started as a watercolourist and ended up learning all sorts of mediums. She has a cat that loves to walk between her feet when she is going down the stairs, hence dropping a lot of items on the floor. That, with the help of some serious clumsiness, brought her closer to Kintsugi, and now she spends her free time fixing items and making candles between a painting and the other.

Join Safira for a practical introduction to Islamic geometry. Using a ruler and compass, construct a pattern and create a painting to take home.
About this event:
This Islamic geometry workshop will explore a pattern from Islamic traditions - in particular an 8-fold pattern from Cairo, Egypt.
During the session we will be using a compass and ruler to create a geometric pattern template and we will go through the process of transferring and repeating the template on to watercolour paper. The pattern we will create in class is pictured.
The second part of the session will be an opportunity to explore painting techniques so you can create your own piece of work to take home.
Equipment and materials will be provided during the class.
No prior experience is required.
Suitable for ages 16+
The class is suitable for someone who has never taken a geometry class before or for someone who would like to refresh their skills. You will be taught the basics and will be able to practice using the compass before working on the pattern.
If you have tried geometry before, this class is a great refresher and a chance to try learn a new pattern
Discover the beauty of abstraction through nature!
Join us for the Abstract Nature in Oil Pastels Workshop, a creative and immersive experience designed to awaken your artistic instincts. We’ll begin with a playful, collaborative drawing session where participants use oil pastels to co-create a large nature-inspired art piece —full of organic shapes, flowing lines, and earthy textures. This vibrant warm-up encourages spontaneity, connection, and freedom of expression.
Then, dive into your own individual artwork, using high-quality paper and the inspiration gathered from the group piece or your own observations. With a focus on layering, texture, and expressive colour, this is your chance to explore intuitive, abstract mark-making in a supportive and inspiring environment. We’ll wrap up with a short reflection and celebrate our creations together. All skill levels welcome—just bring your curiosity!
