If you’ve been copying or following the style of other artists but long to paint something unique to you, then you will want to join this workshop. You will need to come with an enquiring mind and a sense of discovery! You will also need to do a little homework before you attend!

This is not your normal workshop, in that you may not go away with a finished painting or completely formed idea. The workshop is designed for people to discover what they love about art and help them take the first steps to discover a joy in creating and find their own distinctive style.

We will ask questions such as, what really matters to me? What inspires me? And consider how we use this information to make our art unique to us. In the age of social media, where we are enticed to follow after the crowd, this workshop aims to help you identify your individuality and the value there is in that. After all there is no-one else in the world exactly like you!

This workshop is very close to Lorna’s heart. The idea was formed when she worked in a homeless hostel, helping men and women find hope through art. Through the project, she saw individuals transformed, gaining confidence in life and their creativity. She realised that art spoke so much more when the author created the piece from their own uniqueness and perspective.
