Tutor - Sue Pickering

1-day workshop

Thursday 7 January 2027, 10.00am - 4.00pm

In this one-day immersive workshop participants will make mixed media abstract art in a fun and relaxed way by combining the processes of mark-making, painting and collage. 

Investigate the principles of composition and how to work with elements such as colour, shape and line to bring balance and interest to your compositions. We will also explore the basics of colour mixing.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and experienced artists, and anyone who would like to have the chance to take a deep dive into the world of mixed media abstract art. All key materials are provided. 

Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for a painty studio and bring a bag or portfolio with you to take work away at the end of the day, bearing in mind some of it may still be wet.
