Hirameki: Flash of Inspiration Art Workshop for Adults – Draw what you see

What is Hirameki art?
Hirameki – ‘brainwave’ or ‘flash of inspiration’ in Japanese – is where doodling and imagination come
together. Simply put, it is the art of turning a random blot into something amazing, just by adding a few
dots and lines.

This Culture Night, Tuar Ard in association with Art Box propose introducing the public to Hirameki art.
This will be a live workshop with no strict time - people can hop in for 10 minutes or stay for 4 hours.
Facilitators will introduce this art concept to participants using step by step instructions and by presenting
masterpieces in the style. Those who attend can use watercolours and doodle or ink and doodle. When
they leave everyone will receive a booklet with information and tips on how they can continue to develop
their new skills at home. All those who attend will be invited to display there completed work in the Tuar
Ard Art Studio if they wish.
The event is aimed at all adults over the age of 18. Both new and seasoned artists who are looking for
inspiration are welcome
