Sharjah Art Foundation is offering free artist-led workshops as part of its public programme, including sessions such as "Surface Tension" and "Sculpt with Latex" with Laila Majid, and "From Natural Pigment to Paint" with Inaam Zafar. Participants can engage in hands-on exercises in pattern-making, bonding, and shaping to create small-scale works exploring material flexibility and tension. Additional workshops in June and July cover screenprinting, ceramic artistry, pen-and-ink mark-making, and narrative journaling.
These workshops matter because they provide direct, accessible engagement with contemporary artistic practices, allowing the public to learn from practicing artists in a hands-on setting. By offering free sessions, Sharjah Art Foundation lowers barriers to participation, fostering community connection to the visual arts and supporting local creative education in the region.
