MAKE SPACE TO BREATHE & CREATE
Through ink, stillness and mindful mark-making,
Rod McIntosh offers workshops, courses and studio experiences designed to reconnect people with gesture, process and the quiet power of making by hand.
From curious beginners to established collectors, all are welcome.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF CREATIVE EXPERIENCE
These are not traditional art classes.
Sessions combine ink practice, breath, movement and observation to create a slower, more attentive way of making. Inspired by Ensō practice, monochrome painting and years of studio exploration, each experience encourages presence over perfection.
Participants often leave feeling calmer, more grounded and creatively reconnected.
A 90 minute guided experience in ink, breath, and repetition.
A guided ink practice exploring attention, breath, and repetition through the act of mark making.
This is not a workshop in technique, but an invitation into process, presence, and release.
You are guided through simple, repeated gestures that gradually build into your own embodied Ensō practice.
Participants often leave with a quieter sense of attention, a personal mark making ritual, and a renewed relationship to process over outcome.
There is no expectation to perform, share, or “be good” at art.
