 Go Big or Go Home: The Fearlessly Creative Art Experience

Ready to shake things up?

This isn’t your typical art workshop—it’s the first of its kind, crafted to break the mould and take you from FEARFUL TO FEARLESS.

SUNDAY 26th January
10am-4pm
Venue: Harbour Arts Centre, Irvine
Theme: ABSTRACT

If you're bored with your work, If you've lost your mojo, If you're itching for more than just a “nice” picture, if you’re wish you were more bold, if you want to create work that is UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU, then it’s time to go big or go home!

This Fearlessly Creative Art Experience is designed to do all of that and more! It's designed to challenge how you approach your work and provoke new ways to create. 

What the Fearlessly Creative Art Experience Means for You:

• Breaking Boundaries: Ditch safe and predictable; get ready to tackle larger-than-life canvases, push materials to the limit, and explore new, fearless ways to paint.
• Innovative Techniques: Experiment with spray paint, inks, textured layers, and unconventional tools that encourage spontaneity and raw expression.
• Expressive Freedom: Through guided exercises and challenges, unfiltered mark-making to bring out the energy you’ve been holding back.
• A ‘No Rules’ Zone: Embrace the unpredictable! Paint on floor-standing easels, throw ink, layer textures, and allow freedom to lead the way.
• Your Boldest Self on Canvas: Create work that feels true to who you are and unapologetically YOU!

Why You Should Do This Workshop:

• If you’re bored with your current style or want to create more than just a pretty picture.
• If you’re ready to level up, challenging yourself to create work that feels free, wild, and unique.
• If you’re curious to explore mixed media and see what you’re truly capable of when you go all in.
• If you're terrified to paint big and need a push in the right direction.

This is an ABSTRACT workshop - you'll be working intuitively and responding to your canvas and what happens on there! Not suitable for total beginners but if you're open to trying new things - you'll be very welcome.
