The Nicholson Project invites you to register for our 2026 Workshop Series. Participants will have the unique opportunity to take part in one-day workshops led by local artists from Nicholson’s artist community working in a variety of artistic backgrounds. The goal of these workshops is the development of creative practices by providing hands-on experience with new mediums. Registration is open to all adults ages 18 and up; no prior artistic knowledge is required.

Speculative Bodies in Linocut, led by Mayha Leghari, is a one-day workshop where participants will imagine the body as unstable, adaptable and open to invention. Looking at anatomical diagrams, sci-fi and contemporary art, they will create personal fictions of the body that could help humans survive, communicate, or care in new ways. They will then transfer and carve their drawings into linoleum blocks, learn inking and hand printing techniques to create multiple relief prints on paper.

Cost: $75, or $200 for all three workshops.
Includes all artist materials.
