Abstract Expression and Mark Making Class for Creative Leadership

This creative leadership experience is designed to gently move you out of analytical thinking and into creative flow.Inspired by the rhythm of Italian studios, where time slows, instinct leads, and creativity is treated as a way of being rather than a performance, this session uses abstract expression and intuitive mark-making to explore presence, self-trust, and new ways of responding.On arrival, guests are welcomed into a beautifully curated Italian-inspired setting.Participants are invited to take a seat, pour a glass of quality Italian wine, and enjoy generous antipasto platters filled with traditional Italian delicacies — olives, cheeses, breads, and seasonal accompaniments.Wine and antipasto are enjoyed throughout the entire session, creating a relaxed, indulgent atmosphere where conversation flows naturally and creativity unfolds without rush or pressure.This shared ritual mirrors the Italian way of gathering — unhurried, sensory, and deeply connected.This is not a traditional art class.It’s a guided creative experience that supports clarity, connection and fresh perspective—ideal for leaders, teams, founders and professionals seeking something meaningful, memorable and genuinely different.Guided by contemporary artist Melissa La Bozzetta, you’ll be led through a carefully curated process using abstract mark-making, movement, and intuitive prompts. The approach is expressive rather than instructional, drawing on the philosophy of European ateliers where exploration and feeling come before outcome.The focus is on:

• Letting go of perfection
• Trusting instinct
• Responding rather than controlling
• Reconnecting with creative confidence

No prior art experience is required. All materials are provided, and the environment is relaxed, supportive and judgement-free.For optimal experience, ideal group size is 8–16, but larger groups are welcome.Each guest creates a finished abstract artwork as a reminder of what opens when creativity is allowed to lead. Guests also often leave feeling clearer, more grounded and quietly energised—carrying a renewed sense of confidence and perspective well beyond the session itself.

• A finished abstract artwork created during the session: layered, intentional, and deeply personal.
• More than a painting, you will be able to experience a process of slowing down, tuning in, and allowing ideas to surface visually.
