CREATIVE WORKSHOPS
for people who get bored easily.
Featured Workshops
Learn to draw expressive, realistic portraits with confidence.
This hands-on workshop blends anatomy, observation, and practical techniques to help you understand and construct the human head from any angle.
The Workshop
This workshop introduces participants to portrait drawing through a combination of anatomical understanding and direct observation. We will begin by exploring the basic structure of the head, including key landmarks of the face and skull, and how perspective affects the forms as the head turns in space. These foundational concepts will provide a framework for approaching likeness with greater clarity and confidence.
Participants will draw each other, working through a series of quick poses and longer studies. Short poses will develop sensitivity to proportion, gesture, and the overall structure of the head, while longer poses will allow for a deeper investigation of light, value, and atmosphere. Emphasis will be placed on careful observation, simplifying complex forms, and translating what is seen into clear and expressive marks.
Participants will gain practical tools for constructing the head as well as a more attentive and responsive approach to drawing from life.
Who This Is For
Beginners who want a solid foundation
Intermediate artists refining portrait skills
Anyone looking to draw more confidently from life - no prior experience required.
Material Needed:
Participants can work with any traditional drawing materials. It is recommended to use vine charcoal, charcoal pencils, or graphite. Also helpful are blending stumps, chamois cloth, kneaded eraser.
When and Where:

Bored Peach Club, Xaghra, Gozo.
Time: 6PM - 7.30PM
The Lost Workshop is a hands-on experience blending writing and instant photography. Participants reflect on a time they felt lost, create self-portraits, and physically alter both image and text using tactile processes inspired by Malta’s shifting landscape. Through this act of erosion and reworking, the workshop explores how personal stories can be reshaped, and how changing the way we tell them can shift how we see ourselves.
Outcome: This workshop expands access to fine art by using familiar, accessible technology while framing art-making as a tool for reflection and transformation. Participants leave with a physical artwork and an embodied understanding of how revisiting and reshaping personal narratives can influence identity, offering new perspective, agency, and meaning.

A mindset lab for those growing beyond the 9-to-5
with Neville Bezzina
The Workshop
Should I pivot? Go back to Uni? Quit my job? Go freelance? Pursue my business idea?
AAAAAA!
Career indecision is frustrating. But secretly, if we’re being honest? It’s exciting. All those possibilities, all that raw potential.
The alternative? Picking one thing to focus on. Making small steps forward every day.
Boring, effective, tangible.
That’s what this session is: a coaching workshop to to turn decision-making around careers less “exciting” and more “boring.”
How? By getting clarity on yourself so that decisions take care of themselves...and with a little help from AI.
Who Is It For
This is a workshop for enterprising creatives who feel called to do more than just have a good job that pays the bills.
They’re the brilliant ones who have the courage to admit that, yeah, they’re very good at thinking of ideas, maybe too good, but very bad at deciding what to focus on for long enough to make tangible progress.
The Details:
The workshop runs for 90 minutes and is structured as an interactive group coaching session, not a lecture. There’s three parts:
We’ll start by deciding what we’re deciding on.
In this part, you’ll be supported in a process to actively name the difficult career decision that's been sitting on your mind, get honest about where you actually are with it, and start to see patterns in how you think about decisions.
Collaborate to find and name the next step.
You'll collaborate creatively to look for what making progress on your difficult decision looks like. Then, we commit to a next small step forward.
Building a Custom AI Decision-Making Scaffold.
Most people who try and use AI to make decisions end up more overwhelmed. We’ll conclude by applying solution-focused coaching principles to customise AI so that it support your personal decision making process the next time you’re stuck in a loop.
You'll need an account on Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Free versions work fine.
What you'll walk away with
A specific question, not vague ideas
You'll know what you're actually trying to decide, which is more than most people have at the start.
One concrete commitment
You’ll design your own definition of success and a pick your next small step to start making progress.
Clarity on own decision patterns
You’ll have a better understanding of what's helped you decide well in the past, not just a framework someone else built.
A unique AI tool, configured for yourself
Something you can return to when the spiral starts again
When:
Date: 10 April 2026 at 4 pm CEST
Location: Online
Duration: 90 minutes
This isn’t a pre-recorded course. It’s a live online workshop with professional instructors where you can ask questions, receive feedback, get personal guidance, and interact with peers in real time.
The Workshop
This workshop is an invitation to disrupt the aesthetic status quo, looking at Glitch Art as a method of thinking and making. Starting from classical subjects such as the human body and portraiture, you will explore how fractured and anomalous digital systems behaviours can become opportunities to question standards of beauty, representation and control.
The Details
The workshop focuses primarily on Databending as a starting point, and as a critical and practical technique. Participants will learn how to intentionally corrupt files, misuse software and formats, and disrupt digital workflows to generate unexpected visual outcomes, putting machines under pressure, forcing them to complete tasks they were not programmed for. Brief introductions to AI-based processes will be included as unstable systems open to manipulation and experimentation.
We'll hack and break languages and codes to see what's beyond the average standards of uses. The aim is simple and uncomfortable: doing the wrong things the right way. Through guided experimentation, participants will repurpose mistakes, treating failure as a starting point. We'll approach this practice as digital explorers of new lands. Glitches will be used to distort the body, fracture identity, and destabilise familiar visual codes, opening space for ambiguous, complex and unsettling forms of beauty.
The workshop encourages participants to work from their previous knowledge and own artistic practices, while also pushing them toward unfamiliar, critical media strategies. Themes of imperfection, inclusivity and non-normative aesthetics run throughout the sessions, grounded in hands-on practice rather than theory-heavy definitions. This is not about making the weird cool. It is about making art less predictable, less obedient, and more alive to enable you to build counter-narratives and go against the tide with your unique and imperfect voice.
Participants are required to bring a laptop, along with an image generation/capture tool of their choosing (mobile phone, camera, Polaroid, scanner, etc.). A free software file required for the workshop will be provided ahead of time.
Dates:
April 11th, 10am. 3hrs approx.
In Person at the Bored Peach Club.
