About the Workshop:
Join artists Debbie Lee & Prasad Beaven RI for an afternoon of marbling, mark-making, and imaginative drawing, inspired by the visionary spirit of William Blake.
You’ll explore how Blake’s words and imagery have influenced their artistic practices, using abstract patterns and organic forms to access your own inner vision. With a blend of guided meditation, hands-on marbling, and intuitive drawing, this workshop invites you to move beyond outward appearances and discover new forms through imagination.
You’ll leave with a finished piece of artwork and a deeper sense of creative freedom. No experience necessary – just an open curiosity.
