workshops
Are you seeking ways to boost morale, nourish well-being and encourage teamwork among your employees? Maybe you work for a brand or company with a loyal community, and you're looking to hold an event to bring them together in harmony? Or you’re part of an establishment, maybe a gallery, shop or community centre, and you’re keen to attract new audiences? Do you work for a school and you’re hoping to help your students explore their creativity, develop valuable skills, and build stronger connections with their peers?
If any of these options seem relevant, then collaborating with Molly Hawkins Studio on a creative workshop may be the perfect solution.
Fabulous workshop. Making the collage was relaxing and inspiring, and now I'm actually obsessed - seeing shapes and potential parts of collage everywhere. Thank you Molly!

I loved the collage craft session with Molly, which was a real treat and an opportunity to sit and completely clear my mind and focus on getting creative.

DRAWING WITH SCISSORS: MINDFUL MAKING AND COLLAGING
This workshop is about celebrating the joys of play and creation, using a variety of papers, found materials, and magazines to craft framed collage artworks. Taking inspiration from paper-cutting artists such as Matisse, participants will incorporate concepts, typography and themes into their designs, producing unique and thoughtful artwork.
Collage-making is a deeply immersive and meditative activity, often leading to surprising and unexpected outcomes. Through this process, each individual will discover a sense of calm, focus, and exploration, allowing them to let go of perfectionism, take a break from routine, and experience a sense of escapism.
DREAMING BIG: TRANSFORMING SPACES THROUGH PUBLIC ART
This workshop explores the world of Molly’s mural art practice, where theatre design meets public art. Participants will gain insight into the work of contemporary mural artists, visualise how spaces can be transformed through public art, and learn how to transition ideas from small models to large sculptures and murals.
This inspiring experience allows individuals to experiment with various materials, such as wood, cardboard and found objects, to create painted 3D worlds and installations. Paint techniques and collage design methods will be taught, along with interactive demonstrations on patterns, colour and texture use. The workshop ultimately explores how art can transform the ordinary, alter people's perception of the world, and encourage creative curiosity.
COLOUR PLAY: A MINI MURAL PAINTING WORKSHOP
In this engaging workshop, participants will delve into the joy of colour and creativity, explore new creative skills, and discover new ways to express themselves, all through the medium of painting. This hands-on experience involves working with wood boards, indoor spray paint, tape, and vinyl stencils to craft unique artworks. Throughout the workshop, attendees will learn about color theory, experiment with different techniques, and engage in discussions about the impact of art in public spaces.
This experience will inspire individuals to generate ideas and create in a new way, refine and adapt their artistic abilities, and even inspire them to go forward and apply their newfound knowledge to their own larger-scale projects.
seasonal workshops
Seasonal creative workshops are an innovative way to celebrate special occasions such as holidays, national days, and cultural events. They offer a unique opportunity to bring community together, and can also serve as a platform for team building and embracing diversity through various forms of creative expression. Molly is always eager to collaborate on generating ideas for these workshops, with the goal of creating engaging and inclusive events that will be enjoyed by all participants.
Seasonal workshops Molly has held in the past include:
Festive Bauble Painting: These popular workshops involve painting and decorating baubles in a warm and merry environment, to create unique and special decorations to hang on the tree.
Badge Making for Pride Month: In this workshop, mini collages were carefully crafted together that celebrated LGBTQ+ identities, promoting inclusivity, diversity and acceptance.
Tarot-Card Making for International Women’s Day: This workshop’s purpose was to empower and honour women by creating tarot cards, with each participant selecting an inspiring woman and dedicating a card to her.
