Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT) staff and registered volunteers are being invited to step away from their daily routines and rediscover their creative spark in an upcoming mixed-media workshop.
Led by Arts Care artist Clare McComish, the session will delve into this year’s evocative theme for the Hidden Talents Exhibition: Transformations. Participants will have the opportunity to experiment with a variety of textures and techniques, including vibrant tissue paper collage and fluid watercolours, to build unique, layered works of art on canvas.
No Experience? No Problem.
The workshop is designed to be inclusive and stress-free. Whether you are a seasoned artist or haven’t picked up a paintbrush since school, the environment is all about exploration rather than “perfect” results.
“This is about diving into the world of mixed media and seeing where the process takes you,” said Barry Macauley. “It’s a space for relaxation, creative escape, and connection with colleagues across the Trust.”
The Road to ‘Hidden Talents’
While the workshop is a standalone creative escape, it also serves as the perfect springboard for those interested in the Annual HIDDEN TALENTS Staff & Volunteers Art Exhibition.
Staff and volunteers are encouraged to submit up to two artworks inspired by the “Transformations” theme for the exhibition. Attending the workshop is a fantastic way to brainstorm ideas, learn new skills, and find out more about how to get involved in the wider creative community within BHSCT.
