Community Art Class | Mark Making with Jamie
Join Our Community Art Class – Now Open to Everyone! 🎨
Originally set up in partnership with OWLS (Older Wiser Leeds Seniors) for local older adults, we’re excited to announce that our popular Art Class is now open to everyone in the community!
In our effort to provide affordable, accessible creative opportunities for all, we invite you to come along and join our friendly, welcoming group.. This is a fantastic chance to enjoy the benefits of being creative, meet new people, and explore a wide variety of artistic practices.
Jamie Sheridan would like to share mark making workshops, focused on creative perspective shifts, new ways of seeing, and mindful art techniques.
He’d like to start by offering a space to draw from different perspectives through the means of looking at an image, then challenging yourself to pick up a prompt card that tells you what style to draw it as. This practice will be to draw as many as possible in two hours so we can open up to what patterns we see and feel in our Artwork!
From there, the following four sessions will build off the last, and present a trustful approach to mark making that helps in getting past overthinking.
Each session is led by a mix of practicing artists, including both paid professionals and volunteers, helping us keep the group sustainable while also supporting early-career artists with paid opportunities.
We have concession tickets for the community as well as tickets for those who may be able to pay forward to help support us in paying for artists & materials.
What does the group do? in the best the group have explored Lino Printing, Portrait Painting, Collage, Illustration, Botanical Drawing and LOADS MORE!
☕ Our on-site café is open too — perfect for a drink, snack, or lunch before or after class.
Come get creative with us — we’d love to see you there!
