Working Creatively with Dreams

Have you ever woken from a dream with an image that stays with you? Perhaps a strange animal, an unfamiliar house or an unusual landscape.

Our dreams can be wonderfully weird and they don’t follow the rules of everyday life. So why should our creativity?

Join us for a relaxed, imaginative workshop where we’ll explore dream imagery through simple drawing and creative exercises.

Rather than trying to interpret dreams to uncover hidden meanings, we’ll use art to play with the images, colours, shapes and details that appear in our sleeping mind.

You don’t need to be an artist, understand dream symbolism or have any previous experience of creative workshops. Just bring curiosity and a willingness to experiment.

What to expect

• A gentle introduction to working with dream images
• Fun, accessible drawing and mark-making exercises
• Opportunities to explore colour, shape and imagination
• A relaxed and friendly atmosphere where there is no right or wrong way to create
• All art materials provided

You are welcome to bring a dream image you’d like to explore but there is no need to remember a complete dream or share anything personal. We’ll have plenty of inspiration to help you get started.

This is a creative art workshop with a focus on imagination, letting go of perfection and enjoying the creative process.
