‘NO CREATIVE BONES’ PAINTING WORKSHOPS

Think you haven’t got a creative bone in your body? Balderdash! Most people who come to my workshops think the same - but guess what? They all go home with paintings made by their own fair hands! These 2 hour long workshops are designed to be accessible to everyone, whether you did an art degree 50 years ago and just want to get going again or you’ve never touched a tube of paint in your life. I want people to be able to enjoy using paint without expectation or judgement. It’s all about the experience, not the result. Scroll to the bottom to see what people think!

We work on pieces of A2 paper with acrylic paints (plenty of colours) and lots of different mark-making implements (ranging from the traditional brush to the far less traditional kitchen whisk!) - bubble wrap, squeegees, rollers, forks, credit cards are some of the other items in my arsenal. And basically we just lose ourselves in adding colours, making marks, trying things out without worrying about the outcome while drinking copious cups of tea or coffee and chatting or not chatting, however the mood takes us. We do one piece and then tape a second piece into four sections and do the same again, except when we take off the tape we’re left with clean white lines creating 4 smaller paintings and the result is very, very satisfying!

You don’t have to worry about what you’re going to paint before you come. It’s all about going with the flow and just having fun! All materials are provided and you can take your work home at the end.

Sessions are held in my home studio in the NG5 area of Nottingham. It’s a third floor flat with lift access. There is parking around the building and it’s easy to access by bus too.

You can arrange a time and day to suit you (contact me here) and pay using the buttons below. Currently I’m available most days but not Wednesdays and Thursdays.

GIFT VOUCHERS FOR WORKSHOPS

Sometimes it’s nice to gift an experience rather than more ‘stuff’! You’ll receive a hand-painted card containing a voucher for the recipient to arrange their own session with me. I can personalise the card and send it direct to your giftee too, if you like! Just add a note to your order with clear instructions. Scroll down to find the payment buttons for the vouchers.

REVIEWS

‘I thoroughly enjoyed a workshop with Corrina today - a great afternoon was had by all. Corrina was encouraging & relaxed in her approach, which allowed for freedom of expression & exploring new techniques. It was just the tonic I needed & certainly broadened my horizons. Plus I went away with artworks to be proud of. Thank you x’

‘Booked a No Creative Bones workshop as a surprise (he was) for my husband and myself. I can honestly say we had the best afternoon we have had in ages. Corrina was lovely and we came home with proof my husband enjoys painting!! The whole workshop was like putting on the breaks and stepping out of real life for a couple of hours. l can't recommend it enough. Honestly just getting out of your head and having fun feels like an escape. Thank you Corrina.’

‘Lovely workshop with Corrina this afternoon, a great opportunity to learn more about how she creates her beautiful artwork and have a go using some of the techniques to create my own artwork. I really enjoyed the supportive and relaxed atmosphere which both inspired and encouraged. Thanks Corrina, hope we meet again! X’

‘I really enjoyed the workshop. Corrina explained everything well at the start and then set us free! I'd never used all the different implements to introduce texture and interest before. I'm now inspired to go and buy a load of paints and instruments. Thank you so much!’
