Flowers & Figures: Mixed-Media Collage Workshop

Join us for an afternoon of mixed-media collage to explore Mike Thebridge’s unique creative approach. You will be guided step by step through his process, gaining insight into how his layered, expressive works come together.

During the workshop, you will learn image transfer techniques and experiment with a range of drawing and collage materials. Perfect for beginners looking to try something new, as well as creatives wanting to expand their practice.

No prior experience is needed. You will be supported throughout, with plenty of time to explore each stage, and you will leave with your own unique mixed-media artwork.

Mike Thebridge is a British artist who lives and works in London, UK. Having studied painting at Winchester School of Art, he began his career by making art digitally and selling prints of his work. He returned to painting during the pandemic, focusing on portraits.

His practice involves many forms of image creation: painting, drawing, and physical and digital collage, with each medium being a different language and evoking a different feeling. The tension between these various ways of representing mirrors the complexity of thoughts and emotions. Works are often left loose, and the canvas is left raw to give an unfinished look reflecting that everyone's life is a work in progress.
