About the Event:

This is an invitation both for creatives wanting to explore/expand their practice and for those who feel they aren’t creative (but wish they were!). If you’ve ever said “I can’t draw” or “I don’t have a creative bone in my body” then this class is for you too!

So many of us have absorbed the idea that art “should” look a certain way – that there is somehow a right and a wrong when it comes to creativity. Our path to expression is clear when we stop trying to create in the way we think we are “supposed” to and start getting in touch with what naturally flows through us if we allow it.

This is a place to explore and develop tools to free up, get out of our own way and embrace the unique creativity that we all possess.

Includes: Life model, music, gentle guidance (if desired)

Charcoal and paper will be available by donation. Feel free to bring your own art supplies! However, please no oil paints or spray paints.

About the Facilitator:

My name is Ayana and I’m an artist from the Byron Bay hinterland in Australia.

I’ve recently relocated to Edinburgh and I’m looking forward to sharing some of the tools that have been instrumental in helping me find my authentic creative voice.

About Donations: 

Participation in our community-led events is on a voluntary ‘by donation’ basis. This means that nobody is expected to make a payment if they cannot afford to do so.

Any donations received will be shared between the Centre and the facilitator, helping to make the events’ programme sustainable as well as to provide some reciprocity towards community facilitators’ time and skills offered.

Where a “suggested donation” is listed, this is just an indication of what the event might cost if it was ticketed.

This is an invitation to practice ‘Dana’ (generosity) – please pay only what you can afford to attend.

To donate:

• bring cash
• donate online on  www.salisburycentre.org/donate  (Please use reference “EVENT NAME“).
• Card payment option available at the entrance hall (Please enter the event name before making payment)
