FROM OBSERVATION TO ESSENCE – only 2 places left! This workshop focuses on moving from looking to interpreting. Through journaling and sketching from nature, we’ll gather visual and sensory material that becomes the starting point for studio work. You’ll explore how line, shape, colour and texture can be layered and abstracted to distil what truly matters, rather than what is merely seen. The aim is to translate the essence of a subject into work that feels alive, intuitive and true, while stepping beyond literal representation. All levels |
4 Day | Monday 14 – Thursday 17 September 2026
BENEATH THE SURFACE: ENERGY, EMOTION & EXPRESSION This immersive workshop invites you to work beneath the surface — where emotion, intuition and energy shape expression. Through journaling and sketching from nature and from your internal responses to it, you’ll build a personal visual language that feeds directly into studio practice. Drawing and painting form the foundation for experimental mark making, layered surfaces and the integration of written words. You’ll be encouraged to loosen control, trust spontaneity and push your work into new, expansive forms of abstraction and expression. All levels |

Insta leadbeater
Visual artist Steve Leadbeater is drawn to opposites — identity and anonymity, sensitivity and brutality, spirit and form. These tensions run through his work, not to be resolved, but to reveal what exists between them.
Energy is a driving force in his practice — the pulse of life, the charge of sensation and the invisible forces that shape experience. Underlying the work is a search for inner beauty — something raw and resonant beneath the surface, whether physical, emotional or spiritual.
His work does not offer answers. Instead, it invites reflection — not only on what is seen, but on what is felt, remembered and carried.
