Join us for a relaxed, creative afternoon where we explore texture-based painting using a variety of tools and materials. This session is all about experimenting, playing, and letting go of perfection. Whether you’re a total beginner or already love painting, this workshop is friendly, easy-going, and open to everyone (*no prior art experience needed)*. **All ages are welcome.** ✨ What makes this workshop special? This is a texture painting session where we go beyond brushes alone. You’ll be encouraged to paint using sponges, tape, fingers, leaves, found objects, and any unconventional tools you feel drawn to. Every workshop includes a unique creative activity, so each session feels fresh and expressive. 👩‍🎨 How does it work? With the tools and objects you have found or provided, you'll be guided with a simple activity that can help you break the ice with the canvas. From there, you’re free to explore and build your artwork using these tools in your own way. The point is to let go of perfection and paint out of the lines. For example, \* **Tape** can be placed on the canvas, painted over and peeled off to reveal bolder shapes and borders. \* **Fingers** can be used to create spots and blotches, either for the whole painting or accents. \* **Leaves or seashells** can be painted and pressed onto the canvas to leave organic, natural imprints. You're also highly encouraged to bring your favourite tiny objects that you'd love to experiment with. **📋 Agenda** **3:00 PM – 3:15 PM** Welcome, meet-and-greet, and settling in **3:15 PM – 4:30 PM** Guided painting session + unique activity + creative free-play time **4:30 PM – 5:00 PM** Final touches, sharing artwork, photos, and wrap-up 🖌️ **What to Bring** You don’t need to prepare or bring anything - **all canvases and art supplies will be provided, and you’ll be able to take your finished artwork home with you.** However, if you have favorite tools, brushes, or paints you love working with, especially for this workshop - be it leaves, small rocks, seashells, or other found objects - feel free to bring them along! **🎨 Note: The medium is going to be acrylic paints. Acrylics are water-based. It may sound intimidating at first, but don't worry - you'll be guided every step of the way.** 🗺️ **How to Find Us** We’ll be gathered at **Ahwet Al Qishleh, West Wharf, Dubai**. Look for the group with easels and canvases - you won’t miss us! If you’re unsure or have any queries, join the “Palette Pals: Dubai Art Workshop Squad” Whatsapp group. \* We highly encourage you to become a part of the Whatsapp group as this helps us stay connected and grow as a community! 🌷 **A Small Request** \* To support the restaurant kindly hosting our workshop, **each attendee is required to order at least one drink** during the session - even a tiny water bottle works. This small gesture helps us continue holding creative events in welcoming spaces. Thank you! 💳 **Workshop Fee** **40 AED** Payment can be made **in cash or via IBAN transfer** at the event. **Whatsapp Group Link:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/D0WEHX81TvdAzOPYIap9Mv](https://chat.whatsapp.com/D0WEHX81TvdAzOPYIap9Mv)

Choose something from our 3D-printed shelf — *think ceramic paint-and-sip, but way cooler and with custom models we print in-house.* Or head to the candle bar and pick your fragrances to pour your own **pillar candle or container candle**.

Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into. We’ll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, you’ll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself you’re ready to grow toward. This isn’t about resolutions or perfection. It’s about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026. **Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective** The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form. All materials—magazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and more—are provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!

Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
