UNWIND: Café Creative Evenings Special Offer

At Messums Studios, each month we are offering a quietly transformative evening - designed to spark curiosity, reconnect you with your creative instinct and support wellbeing through hands-on making. These one-off workshops invite you to step away from the everyday and into a space where making, looking and experimenting take centre stage.

This is not a conventional class, but a chance to be bold, brave and creative. Come alone and meet like-minded people, bring a friend, or give the experience as a thoughtful gift.

Each session is a standalone experience with a new theme, fresh artistic inspiration and a different creative challenge. Drop in when curiosity calls or follow the series and watch your confidence and instinct grow as you discover your inner artist.

No experience is needed - just an open mind and a willingness to explore. Open to all levels, these evenings are guided in a supportive, flexible way through prompts, techniques and encouragement from Drawing School tutor Emma J Findley.

You will leave with more than what you have created - you will leave feeling inspired, refreshed and with a new perspective on your creativity and what it can become.

Reimagined Portraits – Fashion Inspired - Friday August 14
Inspired by fashion illustration and editorial imagery, this workshop explores portraiture through stylisation and expression. Working with ink, watercolour, acrylic, and collage elements, participants will experiment with proportion, line, and bold colour to create portraits that emphasise mood, attitude and individuality over likeness.
