In Search of Beauty – A Light Art Experience by the Thames

With artist-engineer Maria Vera, Founder of Dreamswork Ltd & Lightfields Studio + Gallery London

Step into a hidden, off-grid sanctuary by the water and explore the quiet poetry of light, colour, and movement.

Join creative engineer and light sculptor Maria Vera for an exclusive creative journey inside her boatyard studio in South Dock Marina—a tranquil space with sweeping views over the Thames and the London skyline.

With over a decade of experience creating kinetic and light installations for some of the world’s most renowned artist studios, Maria now devotes her practice to minimalist sculptures powered by light and air. Her work is a meditation on presence, perception, and the unseen beauty of everyday life.

In this intimate experience, you’ll be invited to:

Discover light as a medium to express your inner world 
Experiment with colour filters, optical lenses, light projections, reflections, and movement 
Create your own unique light sculpture 
Learn new ways to play with physics, and connect with the spirit of things 

Included in your ticket:

A live audiovisual journey through Maria’s Light Cycle sculpture series to tune your senses and open creative space 
An introduction to the art of kinetic light sculpture 
Full use of the studio and tools 
All materials to explore and create your own light-based composition 
Healthy, alcohol-free drinks and snacks 
An opportunity to film your creation for your own documentation 
A glass of sparkling wine to celebrate your process and creations

For those who wish to take their piece home, your composition can be refined and prepared for installation—including a high-end light source and beautifully crafted structure—for an additional fee of £500–£1,000, depending on size and complexity.

This is not a traditional workshop. It’s a unique playground. A quiet rebellion against the speed of the city. An invitation to slow down, look again, and rediscover the wonder of the world around you.
