Squares Workshops is a growing artist-led initiative by Molly Cleaver, offering welcoming and affordable art workshops in a variety of locations across the UK. Inspired by Molly’s approach to colour, composition, and experimental mark-making, the sessions are designed to be engaging and accessible, encouraging participants to explore materials and ideas in an open and supportive environment.
The workshops focus on drawing and painting from observation through guided, practical activities that help participants look more closely and develop confidence in their own way of working. Using a varied selection of materials — from inks and pastels to paint and mixed media — each session offers a chance to experiment, learn new approaches and enjoy the process of making. Suitable for complete beginners as well as those with more experience, Squares Workshops aim to create a relaxed space where people can take time to observe, explore and make at their own pace.
