Textured 3D ‘Minimalist' Canvas Art Workshop

Sculpt Light, Shadow, and Texture on Canvas.



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  £35 - £40 (Earlybird price of £35 applies if you book into a public session 14+ days ahead)

Led by Nikoleta Rugina
Step into the world of contemporary interior design and learn the art of sculptural painting. Textured minimalist art has become a massive, defining trend in modern home décor, celebrating raw materiality, subtle shadow play, and clean, geometric serenity.
In this immersive workshop, we move entirely away from flat, traditional brush painting. Instead, you will explore the rich, tactile world of three-dimensional form and raw topography, working with professional palette knives, multi-toothed scrapers, and a premium, ultra-tactile lightweight joint compound.
What You Will Explore:
  • Materiality & Compound Work: Master the handling of lightweight compound paste, learning how to layer, sculpt, and build stable, raised designs that hold their form on canvas.
  • The Tools of Texture: Experiment with palette knives for smooth, sharp ridges and professional scrapers to create rhythmic, clean arches, waves, or linear grids.
  • The Monochromatic Philosophy: Learn how raking light shifts across structural forms, turning simple white plaster into a dynamic dance of soft highlights and elegant shadows.
  • The Final Finish: Choose to leave your piece in its raw, striking plaster-white state for a pure, ultra-minimalist gallery look, or apply a curated, matte coat of paint to give your design monochromatic depth.
What’s Provided:
  • A premium, heavy-duty stretched canvas.
  • Unlimited access to lightweight compound pastes and professional sculpting mediums.
  • A full toolkit of palette knives, specialised trowels, and custom-grooved texturing scrapers.
  • Guided instruction, design templates, and step-by-step composition layout techniques.
Spend the time creating a stunning, oversized statement piece for your living space or simply enjoy a relaxing morning connecting with a deeply meditative, tactile craft.
