Meditative Drawing with Emma Burleigh
Saturday 29th November 2025
10am – 4pm
Attic Studio
All abilities welcome, including beginners
An abundance of research has affirmed the healing power of art. Meditative drawing enhances these healing effects by intentionally placing the emphasis on drawing as a process rather than a product. We are here to express rather than impress! We are here to sensitively notice what we see and feel, rather than to be noticed for our achievements as great artists! Making art with a mindful approach can take the pressure off your shoulders to be a ‘good artist’, relieve stress, sharpen your powers of observation and imagination, and open up your awareness to more beauty and joy.
No previous experience of drawing is required. During this workshop Emma will guide you through a series of exercises and reflections that will nurture creativity and develop mindfulness. This workshop is suitable for beginners to either meditation or drawing, (or both) and can also be helpful to more experienced artists struggling with creative block.
