Exploring identity: a journey through painting and collage

Explore your memories, nostalgic moments, and identity through a workshop hosted by London-based artist Dene Leigh. The workshop aims to unleash participants’ creativity through portraiture and still life, employing painting and collage techniques with provided materials.

With over a decade of expertise in painting and collage, Dene brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the workshop. From brushstrokes to gluing a myriad of materials onto surfaces, you will learn timeless techniques that have the power to evoke emotions and capture personal narratives.

Providing all necessary materials, the workshop ensures that every participant has the tools to unleash their creativity and express themselves fully. Moreover, it’s not just about creating art; it’s about delving into the depths of personal experiences. So, participants are encouraged to bring their personal items and photographs as inspiration, transforming them into artworks that resonate with their individual stories.
Join us for an unforgettable experience where you’ll not only refine your artistic skills but also uncover new dimensions of your identity through the power of painting and collage.
