  • Last day before our Creative Energies Soundscape tomorrow; A gentle soundscape in which to relax and centre your creative energies PRICE: £15 per ticket, every ticket includes a plus one, so bring a friend for free Monday 14th October (7pm - 9pm) We invite you to come, gather and relax in the soothing sounds generated from alchemy crystal bowls together with a guided meditation. The intention of this session, is to relax, prepare and centre your inner energies for the Autumn season. I will create and hold a simple soundscape in which you will have an opportunity to connect for the benefit and support of your creative self. The alchemy crystal bowls, generate a pure and clean sound and vibration, which resonates within the space of the room, our bodies, our cells at a finite level to relax and rejuvenate. The sound allows us to go into a deep state of relaxation easily, and this healing and transformative state enable the body to relax at a level perfect for your needs. No two sound baths are ever the same. No two experiences will be the same. It will be a time for reflection, gentle focus and vision. We have both seated and laying down space but please arrive early to ensure you get your preference as space is limited. Please bring a bottle of water, a small blanket or shawl and /or pillow to make yourself comfortable as you see fit. (Please bring a yoga mat if you would like to lay down). There will be no opportunity for late admission so please ensure you arrive promptly. Essential oils are used within the room, so please let me know beforehand if you are sensitive to a scent.

  • In The Diary // Art & Meditation Drop-in or Block Book 5wk course⁠ ⁠ TUESDAYS 6.30-8.30pm⁠ ⁠ 12 Nov - Week 1. Art Meditation & The Influence of Breathwork⁠ It all starts with the breath. Every traditional system in every culture has a practise of breath work, it's the first and foremost link to the life force and nervous system. We will practise some simple techniques to energise and also to bring us into quiet stillness, experimenting with before and after art work so you see the difference and power of breath work on your attention and imagination.⁠ ⁠ Art 19 Nov - Week 2. Meditation & The Observation of Flowers⁠ When we observe nature, the mind quietens. The form and harmony of flowers can influence how we feel and calm the nervous system. Attention is brought in. They bring so many feelings and associations into awareness, and like flower essences, they have healing characteristics. Some people report getting warm cheeks whilst drawing.⁠ ⁠ 26 Nov - Week 3. Art Meditation & The Inspiration of Music⁠ There are so many benefits of Music for the mind, body and soul. We will look at artists who used music to influence their work, and listen to different pieces of music with different rhythms and moods and gently playfully and powerfully see how it inspires and in forms our art work and effects our whole being. ⁠ ⁠ 3 Dec - Week 4. Art Meditation & The Practise of the Mandala⁠ Everyday Carl Jung mystic and psychotherapist would paint a mandala as a self diagnostic tool. The mandala is very much a tool for both devotion, intention, stillness and meditation and when drawn with consciousness they can be very healing and helpful and bring you into inspiring calm mindfulness.⁠ ⁠ 10 Dec - Week 5. Art Meditation. & The Power of Devotion⁠ When you devote your creative practise to something, your focus and attention are different, and the heart opens. We will work in a number of ways of using art with intention, enquiry, reproduction of other images we are inspired by, and also how to draw/paint something or someone you are in devotion to. This is a deeply moving practise.⁠ ⁠ Drop in or 4 or 5 week block booking options - £25// 4wk £80 or 5wk £95⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
  • Maker's Monday // La Shuks⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @la_shuks , aka Katie Mac, creates mixed media artworks by building up layers of multiple hand painted textures; photographs from Canada and the Cayman Islands, as well as drawings, graphic images and patterns, often finished with gold leaf, diamond dust or other embellishments.⁠⠀ She loves the contrast of using photographs she's taken of nature, strong and grounded in real life, as well as traditional techniques such as painting and drawing; then using digital collaging techniques to morph them into a unique semi real & semi fantasy landscape.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ There's a theme running through her work, as it explores a re-imagined future world, featuring relics of long gone human days; logos, symbols, adverts and graffiti ...left behind on Earth, these images and recurring motifs have, over time evolved to become part of the earth's natural elements, gradually forming into flowers, fusing and weaving to become wind currents, rivers, waterfalls and a new evolution of species... it's future nature!⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #MakersMonday #SolDesign #SolDesignCollective #Sol_DesignCollective #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton #brightongallery #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #artgallery #brightonevents #makersgonnamake #artofbrighton #illustrator #brightonart #Brighton #KatieMacArtist #lashuks #Katiemac #LaShucksartist ⁠#collage ⁠⠀
  • Monday Meetup: Copyright and Intellectual Property in the Arts⁠ ⁠ Join Sol Design Collective for a conversation with Andres Guadamuz ( @technollama ) on Copyright and Intellectual Property law in the Arts.⁠ ⁠ We are delighted to be in conversation with Andres Guadamuz, an expert, lecturer and author specialising in copyright and Intellectual property law within the creative and digital sectors.⁠ ⁠ We invite you to come and share our conversation with him where we will be asking his advice on all things copyright in the Arts.⁠ ⁠ What is the law? What are copyright infringement risks in the art world? What can you do to protect yourself and your work? And what are the restrictions on usage of others words and images within your own practice?⁠ ⁠ This is definitely going to be an interesting and informative session, so make sure you book early as we anticipate that this will sell out fast.⁠ ⁠ This event is held in the relaxed and informal environment at Platf9rm in central Brighton, where we gather to talk and share experiences around a creative topic.⁠ ⁠ PRICE: £15 per ticket, every ticket includes a plus one, so bring a friend for free.⁠ Mon 21st October (7pm - 9pm)⁠ At Platf9rm⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #fromtheheartofbrighton #SolDesign #SolDesignCollective #brightonart #brightonartists #brightonandhove #whatsonbrigton #visitbrighton #brightonartist #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #brightonevents #makersgonnamake #makers #handmade #shophandmade #workshops ⁣#artinspiration #creativetraining #creativementoring #creativebusiness #Sol_DesignCollective⁠ #Platf9rm #Platf9rmBrighton⁠ #networking #community⁠
