The workshop will be led by Lucas Rodriguez and Kasia Hebda and will take place in the Manaaki Nui space during the Queenstown Arts Society Winter Tale 2024 Members Show. This creative surrounding will help you rediscover and interpret your emotions and awaken your inner artist.

This workshop is perfect for individuals who have always wanted to try their hand at art but doubted their abilities. It's also ideal for those looking to experience something new and unconventional. No prior art experience is necessary—just an open mind and a willingness to explore your creativity.

Participants will practice a variety of drawing skills, covering both basic concepts like composition and more non-standard techniques. This workshop offers a fresh perspective on drawing and serves as art therapy, demonstrating how art can be a meditative and relaxing activity.

By the end of the workshop, each participant will have their own framed piece of art to take home, serving as a beautiful reminder of their creative journey and the new skills they've learned.
