Cloud Hands, Cloud Brush: Tai Chi & Meditative Painting

Sat 19 Sept | 1.30pm – 3.30pm | £18 

Slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your creative instincts in this restorative workshop led by Paul King. Begin with gentle Tai Chi, a Chinese martial art characterised by slow, flowing movements, controlled breathing, and a meditative focus, helping to ground the body and calm the mind. This sense of rhythm flows into an expressive ink painting session, where you’ll respond to guided prompts through intuitive mark-making in black ink. Using Chinese ink, inkstones, paintbrushes and rice paper, you’ll explore line, gesture, pressure and flow, creating abstract compositions shaped by movement and mood. No experience necessary just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
