Workplace Wonders: Spring Equinox Edition –  Inspiration for the creatively curious

Workplace Wonders: Spring Equinox Edition –  Inspiration for the creatively curious

Looking for a creative kickstart and a renewed focus for Spring? Workplace Wonders is a series of evening workshops designed to wake up your creativity with an insight into new skills and practices. Workplace Wonders is about gently moving out of the work environment and into a creative space in your own time, with introductory sessions over Zoom on a range of artist practices, including mark-making, writing, solargraphy and phytograms, all themed around the Spring Equinox. Taking place across two weeks with two sessions a week at family and work-friendly times, join our experienced workshop leaders and arts practitioners for an interruption to the ‘everyday’ and a welcome addition to your normal routine.
Dates: 9th March to 30th March, with sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7pm to 9pm
Price: £75 full price / £35 subsidised
We have kept the cost as low as possible to make this residency accessible to all, with 4 places set aside at the subsidised rate for the low-waged. To apply for the subsidised rate please email [email protected], or make it clear in your CuratorSpace application that you would like to be considered for this. It will be decided on the basis of need, and it will be on trust – we will not ask you to prove your financial situation in any way.

About the Residency 

The main residency sessions will take place from 9th to 18th March on Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 7pm and 9pm, and there will be a follow-on catch up session on 30th March. The workshops will take place over Zoom, and you will be invited to join a private Facebook group with your fellow participants, where you can share progress and ideas over the course of the residency.
We welcome all to apply; artists, creatives, thinkers and dreamers! There will be opportunities to share and discuss sparks and interests wider than the workshops themselves. We encourage everyone to bring ideas, enthusiasms and questions with them, and we’ll aim to explore these along the way.

The workshops won’t usually require any more equipment than things you can find in your own home, but where there is something more specialised we can provide materials if needed.

As experienced workshop leaders and artist residency producers, Mayes Creative firmly believes that our minds work best when relaxed and creatively engaged. Take a step out of the normal routine and be inspired by introductions into new skills that can be explored further if they spark your interest.
