Join us for an introductory workshop that delves into the poetic potential of charcoal and the mesmerising dotting technique. Inspired by Tam Ta: Soaked in the Long Rain and its repetitive motifs, this 3-hour introductory session invites participants to explore a unique artistic process rooted in traditional fresco application.
Led by Chafa Ghaddar, attendees will embark on a journey of tracing and transferring their own gestures using charcoal, a process and tool that was used during fresco application. As the workshop progresses, participants will create compelling compositions based on their iterative movements, culminating in a personal artwork that bridges traditional techniques with contemporary expression.
This workshop is part of our enriching art programme for adults, fostering deep engagement through hands-on experiences that challenge and inspire. No prior art experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.
This is a paid workshop and is suitable for individuals aged 18+.
