In this demo I made an abstract watercolor painting using Abstract Composition Builder. All the layout, the colours and the patterns to use came our directly from the tool. To cut down the time the layout was ready at the beginning of the demo and I mainly focused on the most relaxing part of the process, patterns. At the end I finished the project off with watercolours.

In this gentle, beginner-friendly workshop, participants will discover how simple doodles, marks, and prompts can transform a sketchbook or journal into a calming creative practice. Together, we'll create an easy mindful art exercise while exploring how just a few minutes of creative time can help reduce stress, encourage self-expression, and spark creativity.

Discover the joy of zuihitsu, a personal and playful hybrid writing form that blends poetry, memory, observation, and lists.

Let’s write together! In this casual, generative workshop, poet Hollie Hardy presents a Grab Bag Challenge, a playful, associative writing prompt, designed to engage the senses and encourage fun and surprising juxtapositions. We’ll have a short meet & greet, read a couple of poems for inspiration, take some time to write, and then participants will have the option to share. In this workshop, you’ll not only write a poem, but you’ll get 16 more poetry prompts to try on your own. Whether you're poetry curious, or already a poet, join us; all levels are welcome.
