For us artists (and perhaps all human beings) senses are one of the most valuable tools. Through senses we connect to the outer world and also to ourselves. They enable us to experience this life, to truly feel our sensations; the feathery softness of the cat fur, the sweet scent of the freshly cut grass, the eye-glaring brightness of the midday sun. ‘To sense’ is to be truly present.

I have noticed that when they are on our devices, we seem to disconnect from our surroundings. The outer world seizes to exist and I am desensitised to my own needs. After losing myself for an hour or more somewhere in the digital limbo (the sense of time disappears too), I suddenly realise that I’m thirsty and my neck hurts. Senses ground us in the world, make us feel at home in our own body.

In this workshop, we return to basic sensing. We carve out time and space for us to reconnect to our body. We will explore various sensations and transfer them onto paper in colour, texture and images.  

Come and join us for this artistic exploration and re-experience your senses afresh.
