Workshops with Lor Bird

 

Drawing 
Enjoy the process of mark making by using a variety of drawing media, such as pens, pencils, charcoal. This activity encourages participants to free up their creativity by taking an experimental approach to drawing whilst also enhancing observational skills. The session will begin with a short period of meditation to help ground participants and encourage the creative energies to flow more freely!

 

Abstraction

The aim of this workshop is to help participants develop an understanding of what abstraction is and how they can use and develop abstraction techniques. The session will begin with a discussion of what abstraction actually is and there will be reference to a number of artists that can be helpful for participants to draw upon afterwards. 

​

Developing Intuition
This workshop is ideal for artists who would like to experiment and develop confidence to work more intuitively. The workshop provides the opportunity to try out a wider variety of media and a range of techniques which have been developed by Lor Bird to give their paintings vibrancy and feeling.

Workshops with Lor Bird and Dr Jamie Bird

​

Environmental Art
Dr Jamie Bird and Lor Bird have developed workshops aimed at using creativity as a means of exploring our relationship with the world around us and noticing the beauty of what can often be overlooked or taken for granted. Creativity is used in a meditative way and time is given to discuss responses to what is created during the session. The workshop can be delivered using drawing media, such as pens, pencils, charcoal or using found objects to create sculptures and there is the option to use both for longer sessions. Depending upon location this workshop can be delivered indoors or outdoors and there is scope for online delivery, although it is better done in person!
