Inclusive Creative Community Workshops
I am thrilled to announce a new and exciting local collaboration with Lumina Arts Alliance, joining the team as a Workshop Leader. Lumina Arts Alliance is a non-profit organisation based in Northamptonshire, dedicated to nurturing creativity, supporting diverse artists, and promoting inclusivity through exhibitions, workshops, and community engagement.
The Creative Pathways Initiative
The first project to kick off this collaboration is the exciting Creative Pathways Initiative.
This ambitious program of free creative workshops throughout May 2025 is designed to empower underserved communities, providing immersive events with professional artists and facilities that will push boundaries & unlock creative potential. This program has been made possible by support from the Randal Charitable Foundation in association with Northamptonshire Community Foundation.
Abstract Explorations Workshop
I will be delivering an abstract painting workshop designed to deepen creative expression and expand technical range. Participants will explore a variety of materials, mark-making methods, and conceptual approaches to develop a personal visual language. Through experimentation and guided practice, artists will build confidence, refine their style, and push the boundaries of traditional painting.
Thursday 8th May 2025, 11am to 1pm
The Full Creative Workshop Programme
A exciting and diverse program of immersive workshops will be held in stunning 16th-century premises on George Row, right at the cultural heart of Northampton.
The program is designed to empower underserved communities by offering inclusive access to professional studios and expert-led sessions in photography, music production, painting, digital art, interior design, makeup artistry, and DJing.
