Summary/Abstract: The subject of the presented research is the creative workshop accompanying artistic creation. A workshop is a form of artistic activity that is contained in the scope of participatory art. Its assumptions have their roots in the theory of aesthetic education, whereas its goals and structure indicate pedagogical inclinations. In the pedagogical perspective, creative workshop can be seen as a method of working with another person, focused on the subject’s development. The aim of the research was to show the scope of subjective development taking place in workshop activities. Qualitative research was conducted based on material collected in interviews with workshop participants. It was confirmed that the creative workshop, alongside artistic creation, initiates self-aware reflection, consequently leading to a deepening of self-knowledge. The workshop process results in cathartic feelings. The findings allow for the recommendation of the creative workshop method to be used in pedagogical practice.
