Textures of Shoreditch: a Texture Walk and Collage Workshop
with Vivien Carolyn Reinert
Join us in person for a fun and creative stroll through Shoreditch!
This workshop invites participants to slow down and notice the overlooked textures, colours and surfaces that define the Shoreditch landscape. Through a guided micro-expedition, participants collect visual information using rubbings, quick drawings, colour notes and intuitive mark-making to discover new ways of seeing pattern in the everyday.
Back at the hotel, these observations are translated into experimental mixed-media compositions using collage, layered papers and simple printmaking tools.
The session focuses on playful exploration rather than finished outcomes, encouraging participants to unlock creativity beyond traditional drawing skills and to build confidence in observation and visual translation. The workshop introduces key design principles – texture, colour, material, motif and composition – in an accessible, hands-on way.
Participants begin a personal texture scrapbook they can continue to develop long after the session.
Perfect for art lovers and curious minds alike. Come ready to see the city in a whole new way and get your creative juices flowing!
