CREATIVE WORKSHOPS
for people who get bored easily.
Featured Workshops
with Federico Solmi
The Workshop
Join internationally acclaimed artist Federico Solmi for an immersive introduction to his wildly imaginative practice, where drawing, painting, sculpture, digital animation, and cutting edge gaming technologies collide to form satirical, hyper theatrical universes. Known for his visually exuberant narratives that challenge historical myths and cultural storytelling, Solmi will guide you behind the scenes of how traditional techniques and advanced digital tools shape his artistic language.
This workshop is ideal for artists, students, and creatives interested in hybrid practices, world building, and the evolving relationship between traditional studio methods and contemporary digital workflows.
The Details
Mixed Media Workflow
Gain a clear understanding of Federico Solmi’s mixed media workflow, and learn how hand drawn sketches evolve into digital assets, 3D characters, and animated sequences within game engine environments.
Digital & Physical Collide
Explore how analog and digital processes intersect, and discover practical methods for translating traditional drawings into virtual elements and reintegrating those elements back into physical artworks such as sculptures, paintings, and immersive installations.
World Building & Storytelling
Develop insight into world building and contemporary storytelling, and understand how satire, narrative structure, and digital tools can be combined to challenge historical and cultural narratives.
Foundational Concepts
Experiment with 3D modeling and game engine workflows that offer accessible strategies for expanding visual expression beyond the limits of traditional media.
What you’ll need:
A sketchbook

Workshop over 2 sessions.
April 23th | April 28th | 6pm to 7.30pm CET
Early bird price €65 until end of March.
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 two-part beginner series is a hands-on introduction to creative coding using p5.js and ml5.js. Whether you’ve never written a line of code before or you’ve dabbled a little, these workshops will guide you step by step through the fundamentals of drawing with code, building interactive visuals and understanding how machine learning can power playful, responsive sketches.
By the end, you’ll have created your own computational artworks and will feel confident continuing your creative coding journey with the tools, concepts, and resources you’ve learned.
The Details
Workshop 1: Drawing with Code (Introduction to p5.js)
In this beginner-friendly session, participants will explore the fundamentals of creative coding using p5.js. We’ll start with simple shapes and gradually build toward more intricate patterns, discovering how code can be used as a tool for visual expression. Through hands-on exercises, participants will learn essential programming concepts while creating their own coded artworks.
Workshop 2: Interactive Visuals with ml5.js
Building on the first session, this workshop introduces ml5.js to create interactive sketches. Participants will learn how to use machine learning models to make visuals that respond to movement or gestures. Guided by the instructor, everyone will actively write code and experiment with real-time interaction to bring their ideas to life.
Thursday and Friday, April 16–17.

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

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.
What are
