Textured Journeys with Nik Williams

Join Nik Williams for a vibrant and hands-on 3-hour art workshop, held within the stunning surrounds of his exhibition - Journeys through the New Zealand Landscape.

In this immersive session, you’ll explore how texture, colour, and layering can bring landscapes—and personal stories—to life. Using acrylic paint and a variety of materials for mark making, you’ll learn techniques to create rich, tactile surfaces that capture both the energy of the land and the emotions of your own journey. Drawing inspiration from New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes, we’ll also reflect on the idea of pathways—how our personal experiences, travels, and transitions can shape the way we see and express the world around us.

No experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a sense of adventure. All materials are provided; you’ll only need to bring your phone (for reference photos or inspiration images). Come away with a unique, textured artwork that celebrates both place and personal journey, and a deeper understanding of how to use texture and colour to tell your own story through paint.

Learn more about Nik, his art and his exhibition on the Incubator website. You can peruse 'Journeys through the New Zealand Landscape' in person at The Incubator Gallery between 29 November and 20 December.
