About this Event
Join artist Lisa Ibbetson in her studio in Brighton as she guides her students to connect with their creative flow state via the thousand year old Japanese technique of ink marbling Using a variety of techniques which you will learn on the workshop the inks are applied to the surface of the water. This begins a process of flow where the shapes of the ink continue to evolve in soft, elegant, infinitely decorative forms. At a chosen point a mono-print can be made by transferring the liquid pattern from the surface of the water onto paper and card, capturing a moment in time and a unique image is attained.
The aim of this technique is to surrender into the natural flow state of water. This surrender creates the conditions for us to be present, to witness the subtle changes in a moment by moment way, and to connect deeply to the essential process of creativity which is to be in flow, like water itself, rigidity melts away as we focus instead on experimentation and play.
This democratic, inclusive ancient art form with no fixed destination or decisions to be made is ideal to facilitate people from all walks of life to connect with their creativity, focus and attention - a regular creative practice is not required just a willingness to prioritise your creativity for a morning or afternoon. Although those with an established creative practice, particularly if that practice is digital, find the hands-on- ness of this workshop particularly therapeutic.
